Within Western medicine, physically ill people approach medical helpers in a manner much different from the psychologically ill. P...hysically ill people bring sick bodies to physicians; emotionally ill people bring sick souls to psychotherapists. Differences in these two forms of helping are visible even in the language; the person in need of medical help is always a "patient," while the person in need of psychotherapy is often a "client." Each form of helping has a particular way of approaching the person needing help. Medical patients are treated, taken care of, and made better by the doctor. Psychotherapy clients must be actively engaged in their healing.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Good prostitutes are good at simulating the care and concern for their clients as individuals that are a part of noncommercial sex...ual relations, or even of showing genuine concern--that ends when the night is over. In this respect, they are much like psychotherapists. A hundred dollars may buy an hour of sympathy and understanding. But no matter how genuine the concern may be, it is money, not concern, that binds the relation, a fact that is sometimes made painfully plain to people in psychotherapy when they are told by their therapist, while deep in the midst of an especially troubling revelation, that the hour is up. If either the client or the prostitute (or therapist) oversteps the implicit contractual bounds of the relation, there is hell to pay.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
