Good point. And, as far as we know, this "case study" might complete fiction. The furniture tipping episodes are mentioned almost in passing; the core of the story is how "incompetent and ineffective" poor Dr. Berman feels.

So we don't know if this tale is poorly written fiction -- get thee to the Iowa Workshop-- or a true example. I'd find it difficult to capsize the seating pieces I've seen in therapists' offices. Lamps and accent pieces would be easier to toss, but the story says furniture.
Thanks for this!
