This demonstrates B's need for approval that is easily taken advantage of by Kevin, and that has DISASTROUS effects.


The steps into schizophrenic episodes can be traced here, and by being traced, can help bring awareness to the sufferer.


Dr. Harry Stack Sullivan achieved 85% success rate w/flipped out institutionalized schizophrenics BEFORE anti-psychotic drugs. 
But what endeared me to Harry Stack Sullivan was his perspective not only on the very nature of schizophrenia itself but on the medical people coming to him as interns: This is a quote from the Introduction to Schizophrenia as a Human Process:

"There come to me physicians seeking insight into the problems of the mind. They come to me as well trained physicians and therefore with an acquired inability to understand anything I say to them. I don't believe that if they stayed with me from now until Gabriel blows his hornpipes that they will acquire much notion of what I am talking about  - or privately give a damn. They are already educated, they have a degree of Doctor of Medicine, and they have a whole system of ideas that takes its origins from certain misunderstandings about physical chemistry -- on things which they probably don't realize are physico-chemical subjects -- and they are pretty well organized."
