ORIGINAL: Chickenboy Non-sequitor du jour whilest awaiting another turn. From the Journal of Irreproducible Results. "The Varieties of Psychotherapeutic Experience", Robert S. Hoffman, M.D.: Freudian: Patient: I could use a ham on rye, hold the mustard. Therapist: It's evident that a quantity of libidinal striving has been displaced to a regressive object with relative fixation in the anal-sadistic model. Patient: What do you suggest? Therapist: Perhaps a valve-job and tune-up. Rogerian: P: Sh**! Do I feel sh**y! T: Sounds like you feel sh**y. P: Why are you parroting me? T: You seem concerned about me parroting you. P: What the hell is going on here? T: You sound confused. Now back to the different types of physicians...also from THoIR: John J. Secondi, M.D. The Psychiatrist: Spotting a psychiatrist on the street is easy enough, but as he wanders on the wards of a state hospital, he may need a name tag. Psychiatrists either avert their eyes from you or stare right through you, whichever makes you more uncomfortable. If they sense that you're going to ask a question, they slip one in first. They never use complete sentences, only clauses and long words. I know a psychiatrist who begins every sentence with the word "that" and ends it with an exact quotation of Plato. the main object a shrink has in mind when he sees a patient is not to rescue the patient's sanity, but to prove his. After all, how many surgeons do you know who have five years of operations on themselves before they can practice? Today's phychiatric resident may have elbow-length hair, wear rings in one ear, and go to work in purple satin capes. This kind of psychiatrist has not hit Park Avenue yet, but it's only a matter of time. So here's the cartoon about Pediatricians from the classic "12 Medical Specialty Stereotypes:"
