ABSTRACT
This sardonic sequence was conceived a few months ago, when I was ill with the ‘flu. It was intended as a satirical comment on the profession I normally practise with a straight face, acting for all the world as though I believed in it. It was to convey a view of psychotherapy as a self-enclosed system, a culture within a culture, and to portray its practitioners, with all due respect, as earnest, pathetic fools.
