Did Jeremy love farming ?

Lookout, THAT is impossible. EVERY picture of Julie ever shown depicts a NATURALLY dark haired woman. Forgive me b eing EXTREMELY personal but one doesn't need to be an expert. One only has to look at her sideburns and what promises, in  later years, to become a moustache if not dealt with.

Sorry April,it was the mentality of JM's answer. Though you'd have noticed straight away who was under that blonde " disguise ",known as a barnet.

[Mr. Gee]

No Grahame, not EASY, but because we have been given certain keys it makes the process easier. Naturally, it doesn't guarantee the answer but rather points the way to why certain points have been reached.

I find it rather interesting that many so called psychiatrists, like my brother have had mental troubles of their own which have inspired them to become psychiatrists. I wonder how many carry their own mental problems into the cases they examining?

 Mr G,they're the best psychiatrists to have. At least they know from experience. Not meaning to sound,or be flippant about this,but they'd be the cleverest at pinpointing a problem and would also empathise with them which in part is a boost towards recovery.

Lookout, the other and MOST defining factor is that it was -probably still is- only possible to obtain 30 vol peroxide over the counter. To bleach hair that dark would have certainly required 60 vol............otherwise the results would have been a neon orange. GREAT disguise, eh?

As I said--------mentality. The dye must have seeped right through to her brain.
She'd have used Jeremy's dye to get back to black.

No more than any other person would carry their mental health issues into the job they were doing. People are far better at studying other people's personality than their own.

"So called psychiatrists" IS something of an insult given that AFTER training as doctors, I believe it to take several more years to qualify as a psychiatrist.

Carrying other peoples mental burdens can be difficult and things which are close to ones own experiences are bound to come up from time to time which is why psychiatrists/psychologists/counsellors -like Samaritans- have supervisors on whom they can off load, in the same way that in any OTHER profession there is always someone senior to turn to.

Lookout I'm afraid in my experience with psychiatrists I cannot share your enthusiasm about them. The one's that I have met have been more loopy than their patients. I'm afraid I have no faith in any of them at all.

It was MEANT to be an insult as from experience I have found many of them to be quite mad and self indulgent. I haven't found one useful one to date. In fact I have found them to be quite insulting themselves. You have to live with someone to know what they are like and all I have seen are lists of wrong diagnosis as regards my daughter.

Presently,Mr G,I agree. I'm afraid they're not as knowledgeable as their counterparts were in my days of working at the mental hospital ( asylum in those days ) I learned a lot from them,being as there wasn't even the technology or wherewithal that exists nowadays, would always get my vote of competency.

There are probably two types of people who become doctors. Those who really care about peoples' health, mental and physical and those who are simply investigative scientists interested in nothing more than the exercise of a healing process. Does being one or the other provide protection against a patient's mind set? Who can say. As the adage says "You don't have to be mad to work here, but it helps."

I'm afraid they boast of knowledge that they do not have most of the time. We have made very little progress in understanding the minds of people in 20 years and when you see people being released from prison by their recommendation and then re-offending does nothing for my confidence in them either. They for the most part are forever learning, but never coming to the knowledge of the truth.

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm sure I could do better myself at times when I see such nonsense in the newspapers or on the news about releasing them back into the public.
I remember watching a programme some years ago where psychiatrists were assessing their patients with a view to gradually introducing them to the outside world.
One in-patient talked so much he didn't stop for breath and the psychiatrist thought him a good conversationalist----------------what ? Sad,but what the patient was saying didn't make sense in the least and he used words which had no meaning to what he was saying. In the end,I had to question who the patient was here. There was no harm in the patient,but he clearly was nowhere near ready to join the outside world as he was agitated and would definitely have come to harm somewhere down the line.

The funny thing is that a number of people I knew back in high school who were pretty damn wacky ended up in the counseling/psychiatry fields.  By no means does everyone who goes into the field have issues but it is funny to see how many do since you would think that such people would somehow be weeded out.  I don't know how good they are at their job or not. The most nutty shrinks I have encountered I didn't know when they were younger so have no way to know what they were like back then.  It is almost cliche that shrinks are mental cases themselves. It seems the sterotype stemmed from some actual examples and then you end up with the broad brushstroke ignoring that a few bad apples don't mean all are bad.

Last Week Dressed to Kill was on cable oddly enough.
