Abstract
Common sense and my experience tell me that if I run headlong into a wall, I will do myself harm. But a nursing training officer once told me of patients she had known who had walked straight through walls without apparent harm to themselves; perhaps they did not perceive a wall to be an obstacle to them because of their ‘insanity’ at the time.
