MONDAY. FEBRUARY S. 1961
Family
Council
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE.
Editor's Note: The Family Coun.
ell consists of a Judge, a psychia
trist, three clergymen, a newspaper
editor, a women's editor and two
writers. Each article is a summary
of an actual case history. The
Council reports on problems that
have been dealt with by responsible
agencies and counselors.
Mrs. M. U. She's dating a
young man who's undergoing
psychoanalysis.
Rhoda He's a delightfill
companion, and he says I'm
helping him get well.
Mrs. M. U My daughter is
active in a reliigous organi
zation and, in the course of a
recent fund-raising campaign,
she became very chummy
with a young man on the same
committee. He accompanied
her home after meetings and
now, I learn, he meets her at
lunch. They both work in
midtown.
He's an attractive fellow,
affable and alert. And, with
his father the head of a. big
trouser company, he should
have a good financial future.
But he confided to Rhoda that
he feels very mixed up about
things and is now going
through psychoanalysis to set
tle "a few matters in his mind.
Rhoda is a popular girl. I
hate to see her turn down in
vitations from eligible boys,
good catches who seem ready
to be serious with her, and
spend so much time with
Clyde. I think she's looking
for trouble and heartache.
Rhoda U. Clyde is a fasci
nating, though complex, per
son and 1 enjoy being in his
company. He's 28, a college
graduate, and has been all
over the world, both as a
Navy man and on his own.
Now he's studying law, al
though he helps out part-time
in his father's sales office.
He has explained his pres
ent position to me and I
understand and accept it.
While I don't expect my par
ents to jump for joy over my
friendship with Clyde, I cer
tainly count on them to be
have intelligently and hu
manely. Clyde deserves every
credit for tackling his prob
lems in this thorough, orderly
way.
His parents were divorced
when he was 14, andhe never
had any real home life or
guidance. Even today, he does
not know what line of work
to follow, what he's best suit
ed for. Through analysis he
hopes, for example, to learn
whether to practice law or go
into his father's business.
The Council: Mrs. U. reveals
the ignorance and unfeeling
attitudes that still prevail in
this country on the subject of
mental and emotional illness.
The fact is that, in the opinion
of researchers, one out of
every two persons has a treat
ed, untreater, or being-treated
condition in this area! "And,"
adds Dr. William C. Mennin
ger, the Kansas psychiatrist,
"if you reckon the persons
whose efficient functioning is
disrupted frequently by a
mental or emotional disturb
ance, the toll is one in one!"
Clyde is simply seeking
scientific amelioration for a
disability that many of us
muddle through ourselves,
with more or less success.
During treatment he is grop
ing for the answers to such
vital questions as: "What sort
of person am I really? What
do I want out of life? What
am I best fitted to contribute?
and then, What qualities
should I seek in a mate to
complement by own?" He
should emerge with self
knowledge and self-assurance.
Those are valuable assets
for friendship. Rhoda probab
ly finds it refreshing to talk
to a man who doesn't have all
the answers and who admits
he's looking for a few solid
ones, with professional help.
She may be tired listening to
people who rail at fate, the
cards, and the Republicans,
with nary an inward glance.
Mrs. U. can relax re ro
mance, for the present. Usual
ly the patient is cautioned
against entering into lifelong
irreversible commit ments
while under treatment. But if
Rhoda's relationship with
Clyde should move on to
something deeper, if he seeks
to marry her some dav, she'll
know that all his cards have
been laid on the table. The
angers, the fears, the resent
ments have been aired. They
will not mysteriously color
and haunt the new relation
ships of his 30s, 40s and 50s.
For the moment, Clyde finds
comfort and reassurance from
being with Rhoda. It's good
that she, rather than her par
ents, personify the "public" to
him.
