"Square as it sounds, this produces the best result in over 99 per cent of the cases," Munter has said. "Often the families don't react the way the girls fear they might." If a girl insists on an abortion, or threatens to harm herself, Farnsworth said the UHS tries, through counselling or psychotherapy, to "help her arrive at a better solution...

He has the arrogance and naivete down pat; what he lacks becomes obvious in the last act, when Ekdal must react to his daughter's death. Richards' only reaction is to raise his voice, which gives quantity but not quality to his emotion...
