Sinister Psychologist...
Let me peek into your mind
I wonder what delights I'll find?
All manner of things, both sweet & sour
Such tasty morsels to devour!
Love & Grief in all their sorrow
I'll gobble 'em down, like there's no tomorrow!
Your secrets, kept so close to chest
I'll hang to cure 'till at their best!
I cross my heart, I'll never tell
Even at the toll of your death knell!
I'll drain 'em dry 'till nothing's left
So as not to upset those left bereft!
So, come release your darkest thoughts
And its array of salacious cohorts
I'll fix you up all good 'n' proper
Make sure your mind don't come a cropper!
And then I'll write a best selling book
With your inner demons being its hook!

Well described Stephen, and thanks for highlighting a very important subject.
I think your line: "And then I'll write a best selling book", sums up much of what's happenning today.
Call me cynical but...the philosophy of "follow the money" is increasingly responsible for the pathologisation of commonplace and perfectly "normal" aspects of human psychology and of biology.
