Dr. Kramer’s article is by far the best I have read in a long time, on any subject. I urge the author and the editor to submit it immediately to Reader’s Digest magazine so that it can have wider dissemination. Perhaps even to the New York Times or Washington Post, as an op-ed.

As much as I follow mental health issues, as well versed (for a laywoman) in these areas as I may have considered myself, I never have realized how the “therapeutic culture” has oozed beyond its proper boundaries and so created such malign “mischief.”

Nobody who is from New York, and that would still include I presume, those running the N.Y. Times, will doubt Dr. Kramer’s words. He has been at Bellevue, so he too has really seen it all.

I think Yale Kramer has done a good autopsy on the Cho matter, but I seriously doubt that there will be any lessons learned. After the first shot, society lined up, on both sides to use whatever they could to reinforce what they already believed about gun control and the mentally ill.
