Someone who knows nothing about psychology on any level, takes on a protege, who then gets physically and verbally abused for 2 years ? And this makes them a better person ?
Lord help us.

oh, ok.
It's old school, but clearly worked for Manton....
I know a lot of psychs and they're scary f...ers, personally and professionally.
Almost en masse, so I'm dubious about your argument to be honest.

Firstly, this story is not inspirational. Secondly, there's too much information and detail missing. Whilst it may have worked for Manton, placing yourself in such a position does not on the surface seem like a very smart idea. Psychologists and Psychiatrists may be scary, but they do at least have some kind of training, and are expected to uphold certain standards and a certain level of accountability to the wider community, in addition to their professional organization.
I just think we need to be extremely careful when dealing with the mind, and most especially when you put yourself in the hands of someone who has no training whatsoever. We don't have much of the story to go with. I find it hard to believe such behaviour could be sustained for 2 years.
If my son came home with a phone number of some random guy who put his hand on his shoulder and said "meet me in the park - I can make you a better person and a better player." I mean, seriously ?

And I apologise for what I said about Manton before - completely wrong, and completely out of order on my part. Heat of the moment nonsense.
