In the hurly burly of daily life, I lose track of new developments in the field of talk therapy. Easy to do, I guess, but it’s important to keep up.
Methods of helping people through one-on-one counselling are ever-evolving it seems. In Montreal, for example, there is a psychologist who believes that one way to restructure a soul is to get right down to the bare essentials. His method is to pull down his client’s pants and have him turn around, at which point the good professional administers a spanking. At 10 sessions, Steven Schachter lowered his client’s laundry, smacked away vigorously on the young man’s bare buttocks and yelled, “Feel the shame, feel the guilt, let it sink in.”
Of course, the world being a politically correct mess, the psychologist is now on the hot seat. I am going to assume his pants are not down around his ankles as he sits on that seat.
However, though his methods are being reviewed and he could face sanctions, you will be happy to know that he is still practising his passion, two years after the incidents described above, although the spankings are believed to have ceased.
There will be some, I know, that do not agree with this psychologist’s methods. What those people need, of course, is a good slap on the ass. Or many of them.
Works every time.
