asks, for perhaps the third time. &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s quite severe. Almost a traumatic
experience, for the wrong kind of patient.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Quite sure. She insists,&amp;rdquo; Pia tells him. &amp;ldquo;She&amp;rsquo;s
quite obsessed about it. You know how she is.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh, I do,&amp;rdquo; he agrees. Privately thinking that
Judith Martinelli was one of his craziest patients. And if you&amp;rsquo;re a shrink
in California, that&amp;rsquo;s a serious challenge. Judith is intensely masochistic,
a thrillseeker with little common sense, but one who plans elaborate and
complex ordeals for herself, often at great expense. Pia, her business
manager, and sometime lover, is the one who gets to do most of the dirty
work setting things up.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
