...introduction. Or, rather, shouldn't have one, because to say too much could spoil the frisson of Conor McPherson's odd, unsettling drama with supernatural overtones. In contemporary Dublin, a man (Oliver Platt) who thinks he has seen the ghost of his dead wife seeks the help of a therapist (Brķan F. O'Byrne) who has his own problems. In a series of simple, two-character scenes, we learn more about the sadly self-involved lives of each, before McPherson abruptly sends us out into the night, gasping...
...each mouthful; an 8:30 hike involving prolonged uphill slogs; at 11:15 more juice and a wheatgrass chaser (imagine a concentrate of freshly cut weeds mixed with nail-polish remover). Then there's more yoga, lunch and time for a treatment, perhaps from Antonin Zemlicka, a Czech-born therapist who punctuates his savagely deep massages with epigrammatic statements. "A little torture is good," he says. "A lot of torture is better...
Anne Giedinghagen wanted desperately to stay in school. Having struggled with depression and anorexia since the sixth grade, the rail-thin Cornell junior was meeting regularly with a therapist at the university's counseling center in Ithaca, N.Y.

"A little torture is good," he says. "A lot of torture is better." That could easily serve as the retreat's motto. The matutinal cycle of torment repeats in the afternoon, and every day, a treadmill of yoga and yomps. Jeans...
...every goal, every lesson, every response is carefully documented in binders that track each child's progress. That is the rigorous heart of ABA, explains executive director Bridget Taylor, who co-founded the school in 1988. "I'm a scientist-practitioner; I need data," says Taylor, a certified ABA therapist with a Ph.D. in psychology. The binder for Jodi DiPiazza, 4, is easily seven inches thick, though Jodi has been at Alpine less than a year. Like most other children at the school, she started ABA therapy at home as a toddler...
