Blind Analyst Killed by Angry Patient. The patient also killed the analyst’s wife and then himself. Five years of analysis, which the assailant’s wife claimed had made him worse, had cost him $130,000, for which he had sought a refund. The 91-year-old analyst reportedly used a technique called “water magnetism“, a term I’ve never heard of in conjunction with psychotherapeutic technique and which smacks of quackery in the telling; perhaps more appropriately described as money magnetism?
