IN this modern world, we seem to be afflicted by many maladies. We have this syndrome, that trauma, and the other phobia, to say nothing of stress, strain, overwork and tension.

We also hear of 'miracle' cures for these ailments, such as counselling, bonding, parenting, and other wonderful therapies.

Whatever happened to Grandma's well tried cure -- common sense?
