THE ISLAND SYNDROME
|
The Lady and the Psychiatrist
|
A woman walks into a psychiatrist's office.
"Doc," she says, "you've got to help me. "
"What's the problem?" says the psychiatrist.
"It's my husband. He won't take a bath unless
he has a toy Donald Duck with him. "
The psychiatrist thinks for a moment. "Well,
that seems like a harmless pastime. Why don't
you just let him take his bath with a toy
Donald Duck?"
"But Doc," says the woman, "it's my Donald."
"It is not easy to deal scientifically with
feelings."
