Famous quotes containing the words management and/or treatment:
“The management of fertility is one of the most important functions of adulthood.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“I feel that any form of so called psychotherapy is strongly contraindicated for addicts.... The question “Why did you start using narcotics in the first place?” should never be asked. It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
