...educators are far from unanimous on the subject. There is, for example, the "catharsis school"; it contends that a little vicarious violence each day keeps the psychiatrist away. Noting that the evening news on TV is not exactly Dingdong School, San Francisco Psychiatrist Gene Sagan says that "it is natural for man to murder and destroy. And it is society's responsibility to provide a healthy outlet. The more ritualized violence we have on TV, the fewer assaults, riots and wars we will have...
...voracious reader of everything from Shakespeare to detective fiction -which he uses to "turn off"-Gilmore has managed to become a recognized authority on the Byzantine period. His psychiatrist wife-the mother of their two grown children-owns a superb 600-piece collection of Japanese art.

Dr. Hill said that he was not treatable, was potentially dangerous, and "should not be permitted to have freedom again in his adult life." Dr. McNeill warned that under treatment. Sledge would...
Since 1958, Robert Coles, a research psychiatrist at Harvard, has studied the reactions of both blacks and whites who were involved in the desegregation of Southern schools. His findings are compelling evidence of the psychological damage that can be caused by virulent racism. A small Negro girl, Coles notes, drew pictures of white people as larger and more lifelike than Negroes; when she drew Negroes, their bodies were disjointed. A white boy depicted Negroes as more animal than human. By the time they are three years old, Coles says, black children are already learning the values and fears...
