At one point, later in the book, he told a patient: “I guess you know, I want you out of here. I am looking forward to meeting you in town, in my office. I really can’t stand for you to be in here” (388). These are strong words, and I have no reason to doubt that Rogers believe them when he was saying them. But no matter how true the sentiments were, in fact, as Rogers admits, he could not get any patient out of the hospital, and the recognition of this fact on the part of the patients enraged them, quite justifiably: Masson, Jeffrey Moussaieff
