...psychiatrist who also practices in an academic community, I read Dr.Graham Blaine's comments on the "Crisis in Confidence" in the UHS psychiatric services with keen interest. Fortunately, Dr. Blaine is candid about the two-faced policy the health service follows with regard to confidentiality. If he feels free to decide unilaterally in an area as critical as the decision to take one's own life, that it is not his patient's right to have these most private thoughts kept in confidence, how is the patient to know what other sensitive area will be beyond the good doctor...

They tell me a great deal." Without the need for optic examination, she took on California Writer Robert Stone, whose excellent first novel...

Richler's ploy is to turn the liberal Jewish character inside out, making Mortimer an inversion of the author's own experiences as a youth in Montreal's intensively competitive Jewish enclave. Says Richler: "Our mothers read us stories from magazines about astigmatic 14-year-olds who had already graduated from Harvard. And reading Tip Top Comics or listening to The Green Hornet on the radio was as good as asking for a whack on the head-sometimes administered with a rolledup copy of the Jewish Eagle, as if that in itself would be nourishing...
