Abstract
There is an old joke about a man who went to a psychiatrist because of a problem with thumb-sucking. After several months of therapy, the patient was delighted with the results and was describing them to a friend. ”So,” the friend said, ”you don’t suck your thumb any more?” ”Oh, no,” replied the patient, ”I still suck it as much as ever. But now I know why!”
