A scary thought.

There’s an experiment underway. Psychiatrists are sharing their notes. With their patients. They can learn. Exactly what their psychiatrists think of them. All the details. Good, bad or gory.  Read about this. In Tuesday’s science section of the New York Times.  Surprises me. Because I always thought. That psychiatrists shared. Everything. Seems to me that would be the natural thing to do. And now I’m learning, few psychiatrists do.  The experiment has been greeted with mixed reviews. Some psychiatrists caution. That there may be danger. In the patients knowing too much. About themselves. That it may do more harm than good. Scary thought, isn’t it?  Learning too much about one’s self.  –Jim Broede
