Absent Treatment

Famous quotes containing the words absent and/or treatment:

    Life stood on the top stair a moment
    Waved her last gray slander down the stair,
    I will not forget her absent eyes
    Her other smile like one rose
    Falling, falling everywhere....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    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)
