My mentor was an amazing teacher
named Benton Mandlebaum.

1:01:05
Died quite tragically
in the collapse of a gazebo.

1:01:10
Your extended training
was at an institution in that area?

1:01:14
Lots of institutions.
1:01:16
My graduate advisor believed we should
experience prisons, clinics, halfway houses.

1:01:22
For a while I was chief therapist
at a shopping mall.

1:01:26
- Interesting approach. What was his name?
- Dorothy Fowler. Fantastic woman.

1:01:31
She passed last year in a train wreck.
1:01:35
Damned Amtrak.
1:01:43
I trained in the east. Cornell. Whatever
anyone says, there are regional differences.

1:01:49
I found the state certification exams
here harrowing.

1:01:52
Yeah, very tough, but I guess that's good.
Keep out the quacks.

1:01:57
- Which examiner did you have?
- Wallace Franklin from Greensburg.

1:02:04
That was a terrible thing.
1:02:06
I don't know why hang-gliding
is even considered a sport.

1:02:13
We're interested in new therapies.
How would you characterize your approach?

1:02:17
- My approach?
- Yes, your particular approach.

1:02:23
I don't have one, really.
Most of the time, I'm faking it.

1:02:27
There's not much that can be done
about most problems.

1:02:31
They're too deep-rooted
by the time I hear them.

1:02:34
The most I can do, usually,
is look and listen real closely

1:02:38
and try to catch some glimpse
of the secret life everybody's got.

1:02:43
If I can get a sense of that, then maybe,
just maybe I can help them a little.

1:02:50
I see.
1:02:53
- The argument had nothing to do with it.
- What was it about?

1:02:57
I'd ordered
the 100 greatest books ever written.
