Abstract
The author of this paper is an educator and eschews any suggestion of therapeutic treatment in his work.
“Restless, unfixed in principles and place, In power unpleased, impatient of discrace; A fiery soul, which, working out its way, Fretted the pigmy body to decay And o’er informed the tenement of clay.” John Dryden, “Achitophel”
