Emphasis Preaching Journal

"Maud," the fictional television character played by Bea Arthur, is seen in a classic episode entering the office of her psychiatrist. His face is never seen. Maud takes the client's chair and begins to pour out her tale of trouble. The psychiatrist mumbles nothing more distinct than an occasional "Ah-ha" or "Oh?" For a full twenty-two minutes Maud talks on toward a resolution of her problems. "Thank you, Doctor!" she declares at the end, "You have helped me so very much!" "Mmmmm," says he as she leaves the office.
