ZAP: Confessions of a Channel Changer

Book excerpt: Dr. Heinrich Gautier, former Director, Psychiatric Services, Lilac Hills Institute, has released the journal written by Simon P while undergoing intensive non-interventionist therapy. He may be criticised by some colleagues for releasing the journal, but that is a risk he is prepared to take because he believes it is vital that others learn from all that transpired during the time that Simon P spent in therapeutic care. He wants others to see how, given little more than a self-appropriate medium and minimal guidance, clients can use intensive non-interventionist therapy to jolt themselves out of memory lapses, denial and psychological barriers that inhibit the process of self-understanding, and can then move forward into the process of self-awareness and, in an ideal world, self-healing. The journal contains explicit and implicit scenes of violence and sexual content; it is not for the faint of heart. Reader discretion is advised.
