I can't help but wonder whether these therapeutic approaches would have actually been applied in reality (well, I suppose in Muggle reality ^_^). It seems a little counterintuitive to butt heads with the patient the way Agarwal did. I don't know if I believe her methods would have been practicable. What if Harry decided not to trust her? To me, she does come on a bit strongly. It's a bit surprising that her methods worked out the way it did.
Maybe I should read up a bit more on therapeutic approaches? My psyche text didn't offer anything enlightening (perhaps b/c it only covers general concepts) If you looked into this yourself, got any recs of where I should start? I'm interested into how you came about putting together Agarwal as a plot device.
However, I'm quite happy with just a chapter update if you're juggling b/t life, reviews, and the story itself. I can't wait to find out what happens next.
