Why doesn’t Esther like Dr. Gordon? Is he hurting or helping her?
Esther has gone crazy and decides (knows) that she needs to get help from a psychiatrist. Before she met him she thinks that he is conceited. She sees a picture of the perfect family in his office and this bothers her even more I think because it is something that she doesn't have. Dr. Gordon asks her on page 129, "Suppose you try and tell me what you think is wrong". This bothers Esther because she knows she has a problem and she wants to get help. I feel like Dr. Gordon gave up too easily. He told Esther to come back next week for her next session but decides to do shock therapy. I don't agree with his decision because I think he should of talked to her a little longer. I think that the shock therapy hurt her because she goes even more crazy than she already is.

I agree but, like we talked about in class. I think that did not make a mistake when doing the shock treatment on her. But consciously thought that he didn't know what to do, so that was his explanation. Good post though. Good analysis.
