When I asked Logan about whether Ms. Wolfe felt threatened by the fact of his hire, he refused to speculate on what she might be feeling. I got the fleeting impression that Mr. Marcas might not even acknowledge the existence of other people's internal emotional states, but I may be reading too much into what may just have been his attempt to be guarded in his responses. His presence was very commanding yet calm. During the session, I felt I was being evaluated. He seemed very focused and never really took his gaze off of me.
Most patients look around the room, especially while they're talking.
Mr. Marcas just kept looking directly at me, even as he responded to my queries. I received this morning a memo to the file by Malcolm Spunt. The memo details the incident which occurred on May 18th between Logan Marcas and Ms. Brenda Wolfe. While Mr. Spunt carefully condemns the violent behavior of Mr. Marcas, in reading the memo I got the feeling both that he was impressed by the demonstration of Mr. Marcas' combat skills and that, on some level, he thought Ms. Wolfe deserved it. I think that Mr. Marcas has a powerful ally in Mr. Spunt.
