‘Thanks to the hallucinogen, Lila becomes a cleaver-wielding psychopath with a unique fear of bananas, but a couple of Los Angeles cops are hot on her tail’.

Yep, either Ricky Gervais, or the bearded guy from mad men (Michael Gladis). And I do see Catherine O’Hara, but that’s not quite it. She looks exactly like someone, down to that exact hairstyle and expression. Just can’t put my finger on it.

Thank you, agrovista, I enjoyed this article with a cup of coffee this morning and laughed myself silly.

“This,” Bindrim asserted gesturing to a participant’s genitalia and anus, “is where it’s at. This is where we are so damned negatively conditioned” (cited in Howard, 1970, p. 96). Determined to squelch the “exaggerated sense of guilt” in the body, Bindrim devised an exercise called “crotch eyeballing” in which participants were instructed to look at each others’ genitals and disclose the sexual experiences they felt most guilty about while lying naked in a circle with their legs in the air (Bindrim, 1972; cited in Howard, 1970, p. 94).

I think that porn really didn’t need a workaround (at least in most places) by the early 70s, but some people probably still wanted/needed the fig leaf (as it were) of scientific justification for their voyeurism.

Actually, that guy looks a bit like William Rotsler, a science fiction writer and Harlan Ellison crony who had a career making sexploitation films like Mantis in Lace.

“Photographically revealing… look it over… the illustrated report”
It certainly seems to be the selling point, assuming it wasn’t the creative intention.

At Oak Ridge Hospital for the “criminally insane,” psychiatrist Elliot Barker began conducting “the world’s first-ever marathon nude psychotherapy session for criminal psychopaths. Elliott’s raw, naked, LSD-fueled sessions lasted for epic eleven-day stretches,” according to Ronson.

Here is a good read
http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2011/11/18/the-history-of-nude-psychotherapy/all/1/

It all started in 1933 with a paper by Howard Warren, a Princeton psychologist and president of the American Psychological Association, who spent a week at a German nudist camp a year earlier.

I do psychotherapy with adults aged 65 and over. Thank goodness this didn’t become a empirically supported treatment.
