Sons and parents

[Eva Elisabeth]

However, she managed to get out of the asylum within the shortest period of time and thenceforth dealt with life and circumstances in a way that neither threatened to harm her nor others. She was well able to care for herself and her finances, even alone in Europe. Isn't this amazing? Maybe she was just someone who needed a task or challenge, in this case getting herself out of the asylum and out of the danger this could ever happen again. (Legally - could it?)

I once again try this question - what do you imagine would have happened to her if she hadn't been so lucky to get herself out of Bellevue? Dr. Patterson, if I remember correctly, advocated long-term treatment over several years and considered any short "therapy" effectless.
