The chief psychologist for the "management engineering" firm of Stevenson, Jordan & Harrison told Gross that "we set up a sort of doctor-patient relationship to put employees at their ease. I try to make the man feel as much at home as possible.'' A testing psychologist at George Fry said: "I wait until I have him almost supine.
