When I first saw Beck at the therapy convention in November, I mistook him for a diffident patrician, an image he seemed to project with his neatly trimmed white hair, bow tie, tweed jacket, gray socks and grandfatherly laugh. In fact, Beck-the son of a Ukrainian socialist father and a "rather dominant" Russian mother, according to Weishaar-is a tireless defender of his therapy.
