Synopsis
A law is passed giving psychiatric patients freedom from treatments. Dr. Gregory is an ex-psychiatrist who was sent to prison for trying to help a young woman.
History
First publication: Amazing, January 1962
Review
Very much a character story, this is short but a good profile of the doctor and his predicament in this world. The story also hints at how professions that are of the past have been villified. Psychiatrists join alchemists as quacks. Recommended.
