With a patient, learned psychiatrist as his guide he may clamber out of the debacle and regain a stout hold on life. But the paths he takes must be peculiarly his own. for psychiatrists have not mapped all the bad lands...

Humble, serious, much of a realist despite his exhibitionistic tendencies, Mr. Calvert finds Byron complex, yet tangible.
