Presumably all therapeutic paths will start from salvaging his ruined life. Any basically functioning human would be doing the same in a moment of crisis. The key difference is what path he charts. If it's based on some profound discovery that makes all humans more relatable to him, then that's good. If it's based on a system of feigning the former then that's bad.

That's why I recommended what I did for a follow on study, because I didn't accept this as fact. Most of behavioral psychology, imo, is not fact based at this point.
