Terry Pratchett. Masquerade (№ 368033)

Mother vetrovec never heard of psychiatry. And if I did, I still wouldn't have understood. There are areas of human activity, too dark even for witches. She herself practiced golovolomki - that is now her practice already did not make sense, she was considered the best in this field. And although outwardly it may seem that a psychiatrist and Golovatogo a lot in common, in fact between them is a huge practical difference. The psychiatrist, having obtained the patient who feels that he is pursued by a large and terrible monster, will endeavor to convince the poor that no monsters are there. Mother, on the contrary, gave the patient a chair on which he could climb, and a big heavy stick.
