Group therapy
A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy
session with four young mothers and their small
children. "You all have obsessions," he observed.
To the first mother, Mary, he said, "You are
obsessed
with eating. You've even named your daughter
Candy."
He turned to the second Mom, Ann: "Your obsession
is
with money. Again, it manifests itself in your
child's
name, Penny."
He turned to the third Mom, Joyce: "Your
obsession is
alcohol. This too shows itself in your child's
name,
Brandy."
At this point, the fourth mother, Kathy, quietly
got
up, took her little boy by the hand and
whispered,
"Come on, Dick, we're leaving."
