Abstract
The situation of the ill — and not only of the mentally ill — is in many ways like that of a person who for a long time has been standing on only one leg. After some time the muscles become cramped and the burdened leg begins to hurt. He is hardly able to retain his balance. Not only the leg hurts: the whole musculature, unaccustomed to this posture, begins to cramp up. The pain becomes unbearable, and the person cries for help.
