Analytically orientated

i_eronПеречитываю раннюю Пи-Ди Джеймс (A Mind to Murder). Она там забавно издевается над психиатрами и, наверное, учёными и исследователями вообще. Вот описание 42-летнего специалиста (надо думать, последователя Юнга), работающего в частной лондонской клинике в 1962 году, преуспевающего на первый взгляд, жалковатого на второй. Почти 50 лет прошло, всё совершенно изменилось, его область мне практически незнакома, страну его я только по книжкам и знаю, а всё равно, звучит так узнаваемо:
"Let's just say that I know. Dr. Steiner couldn't stand her. He goes in for psychotherapy. Intensive psychotherapy. Ever heard of it?"
Dalgliesh admitted that he had. Mrs. Shorthouse gave him a look in which disbelief fought with suspicion. Then she leaned forward conspiratorially as if about to divulge one of Dr. Steiner's less reputable idiosyncrasies.
"He's analytically orientated, that's what he is. Analytically orientated. Know what that means?"
"I've some idea."
"Then you know that he doesn't see many patients. Two a session, three if you're lucky, and a new patient once every eight weeks. That doesn't push up the figures."
