Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was much more used thirty years ago than now. A couple of weeks ago an old friend who is a psychologist was telling us at lunch about a case history she had recently read about two families who had adopted a set of identical twins whose father was in jail for life for murder. One family was very well off, their son was their only child and he had a stay at home mother, and very good schools and constant love and supervision. The other twin was adopted by a family of small means and not as much time to spend with him and they already had
three other children.
We waited to hear the outcome of these two young men in their thirties.
She told us that they had both been arrested for violent crimes, one for murder.
