Attachment Patterns

Is the artist, Robert Boone, crazy? As his daughter, aspiring novelist, Isolde tells us, he sure doesn't think so. Okay, yes, he recently found himself in the hospital loudly declaring he wanted to die, but that was a moment of unexplained weakness, of post-pandemic exhaustion. He's fine now, calm, and self-possessed as always. Only the doctors don't believe him. They've insisted he enroll in a three week, out-patient, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy program. Which is? "Psychotherapy in which patterns of thought are challenged in order to address unwanted behaviour patterns." With no choice now, Robert Boone will reluctantly look at his life. In lectures and group sessions, he will examine his past, his unspoken fears and grief and his relationships both old and new. As his daughter, Holdie says: "Anything I tell you from this moment on was disclosed to me, remembered by me, surmised by me and in some cases (okay, more than some) was totally and completely made up. (By me.) Still, all of it is the God's honest truth." Is Robert Boone crazy? Isn't everybody? We'll find out.
