Dr. Tamarkin maintains that on the whole the profession is honest about differentiating between clinical conditions and normal grief or anxiety. Mr. Buckley serves as referee. NRT (alleging that Mr. Gross has misquoted certain people in his book): "Dr. Greenson is not aloof, according to him. He talks to his patients regularly--" MG: "Excuse me --" NRT: "--and if you have some strange idea of--" MG: "If Dr. Greenson were to admit this in public he'd be discharged from the American Psychoanalytic--" NRT: "That's--" MG: "--because classical analysis is based on incognito, as you know.

It is not normal psychotherapy, which Dr. Freud says was dross, and

psychoanalysis was golden." WFB: "Let me try to get concrete."
