.EmailQuote { PADDING-LEFT: 4pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 1pt; BORDER-LEFT: #800000 2px solid } Dear David, There is something about the last part of this piece: He likens treating someone depressed because they are unemployed to giving therapy to a woman who is beaten at home then returns each night to an unaltered situation.
"All you are doing," says Dr Fryer, "is making them think differently about being punched."
There is something about this series of statements that left me feeling sickened, but I just cant quite put my finger on why at the moment.David, I would be interested in what you think of how this was presented and what you were hoping to convey by making this particular comparison?
