...play is cleverly staged like a TV contest game. The game, of course, is life, and the unflinchingly ironic viewpoint of Adaptation is that life is a game played on as well as by the contestant. The four actors play many roles: parent, child, teacher, psychologist, husband, wife, in a fiendishly swift journey through the seven ages of man. As a buzzer sounds, the contestants hop from one huge checkerboard square to another. A games master indicates roles, crises and situations, and penalties or bonuses are meted out. The play is a running spoof on psychoanalytical jargon, which has become...
...almost as much fun as participating in it. American Psychiatrist Dr. Reba Campbell feels that it offers Brazilians "a chance to live deep in fantasy," fulfilling everyone's "need to be important." A Brazilian psychiatrist, Dr. José Leme Lopes, sees it as a "kind of collective cathartic." Psychologist J. Wayne Gibson, an American living and working in Brazil as an industrial consultant and private therapist, has watched half a dozen carnavals.

Introverts function best in the morning, according to British Psychologist Donald Eric Broadbent, but some other psychologists say that the early risers are egotistical-they get up with the idea the world is waiting for them.

According to Social Psychologist Raymond Bauer of Harvard, "Our hang-up is that we don't have a model for the social system anywhere as precise as what the economists have for the economic system." Nor do the social scientists have a measurement for social values akin to the dollar, although one possible theoretical unit is called the "utile," used by economists to weigh the price people would pay to avoid the sonic boom...
...Awareness. He has more leisure time now. By choice, Hollander limits himself to about 45 concert dates a year, plus a handful of recording sessions. With his wife Margot, a psychologist who teaches emotionally disturbed children, Hollander lives in a brick-walled flat five flights up in Greenwich Village. There is a hippie commune next door, and Hollander admits to sharing some of its ideals. He is in favor of "opening up," talks about "the new awareness" and believes that pot should be legalized. In a few weeks, he will give the first classical recital at Manhattan's leading...
