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 Mum, Ann: 'Your obsession is with money.
Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny.'

He turned to the third Mum, Kathy: 'Your obsession is alcohol.
This too shows itself in your child's name, Brandy.'

At this point, the fourth mother, Joyce, quietly got up, took her little boy
by the hand and whispered,


'Come on Dick, this guy has no idea what he's talking about. Lets pick Willy
up from school and go home.'
