THE WEEKLY SHRINK RUN

A COUPLE of times a week, there’s a minicab that takes a few of the Crescent children to the Tavistock Clinic in Swiss Cottage. Dad says they have to sit in a room with a psychotherapist who waits for them to say something interesting. Then it’s written down in a notebook.

I know this because the boys who go have made a pact to sit there and say nothing to the therapists, which makes the parents worry even more.
