I did several of them before I got it right, then I gave one to him and kept one. "No, no. Not red. More of a brick. That would mean resentment, not anger."

>Dinah,
This opens up lovely possibilites for therapist record keeping software. You could make it look like the cash registers at fast food places where everything is a picture. Colors for moods of course. For diagnosis maybe just appropriate the highway warning signs like "slippery when wet" or that lovely picture of the tractor trailer tipping over on a sharp curve. We could market it as an international, non language based product. Therapists would no longer need to know how to read and write (which could cut costs) and, of course, it would free them from the worry of courts, patients, or insurance companies snooping around in their records. And, for an extra fee, we could offer encryption - a colored piece of plastic to place in front of the screen without which the colors would all be off. What do you think? Should we incorporate?

And of course, each patient would get a 64 color box of crayons to take home with them.
