"Listen to me. I use my ability to help confused people. They
come to me . . . the poor sick ones ... so sick they can't dis-
cover their problems. I do only one thing for them. I help them
recognize their problems. While they talk, I listen to their broken
thoughts. While they wander and flounder in confusion, I pick out
the pieces, the artifacts ... I tell them what their crisis is. I
make them see it. I wrap up their problem in a neat parcel and
place it in their hands. They can carry it to the nearest analyst
for solution, though that's generally not necessary."
