Dear Mr. Read: I don't think I replied to your reply about "amateur
psychotherapy." I do think, as you suspect, that you have me wrong. I
certainly have no objections to "psychotherapy" -- far from it, as an
old-fashioned Freudian. The key word is "amateur." One of our
correspondents completely missed the irony of that, and thought I was
referring to some recognized or established practice. Anyhow,the point of
my posting was to suggest that those of us who are planted in literary
study ought to avoid making medical diagnoses such as Mr. Redman proposes
to perform on Pound unless they are properly qualified.I fail to see the
"arrogance" of that.
                                        With best wishes,
