La Doctora Melfi

Excelsior has an article today about drug traffickers in Sinaloa and their shrinks. Evidently, they usually enter into treatment because of drug problems. (A new word, much, much further along the same continuum as irony, needs to be invented to describe the previous sentence.) The psychiatrist interviewed is remarkably candid, given the subject, telling us that big-time traffickers are typically quite intelligent, have problems saying no to people, and are concerned that drug use will affect their business interests.
