One
evening
after
dinner
,
David
was
sitting
in
the
living
room
when
suddenly
he
imagined
one
of
the
female
patients
rushing
toward
the
stairway
railing
outside
the
ward
door
—
a
steep
three
-
floor
drop
down
the
center
staircase
.
Ragen
,
who
always
thought
David
was
weird
for
thinking
these
kinds
of
things
,
realized
that
what
David
was
seeing
was
probably
happening
.
He
took
the
spot
,
dashing
down
the
corridor
and
up
the
steps
,
slamming
open
the
door
and
running
out
into
the
hallway
.
Katherine
Gillott
,
the
mental
health
technician
who
had
been
sitting
in
the
office
near
the
exit
,
jumped
up
from
her
desk
and
ran
after
him
.
She
reached
the
corridor
in
time
to
see
him
grab
the
girl
,
who
had
already
gone
over
the
railing
.
He
held
on
and
pulled
her
up
.
When
Gillott
brought
her
back
inside
,
Ragen
slipped
away
.
.
.
David
felt
the
pain
in
his
arms
.
In
addition
to
the
general
therapy
he
had
been
giving
Billy
from
the
beginning
to
strengthen
his
control
of
the
consciousness
,
Dr
.
Caul
used
hypnotherapy
and
taught
his
patient
autosuggestion
techniques
to
help
alleviate
tension
.
Weekly
group
therapy
sessions
with
two
other
multiple
personality
patients
enabled
Billy
to
understand
more
about
his
condition
by
seeing
its
effects
on
other
people
.
His
switching
was
less
and
less
frequent
,
and
Caul
felt
his
patient
was
improving
.
As
Billy
the
Teacher
began
chafing
at
his
restrictions
,
Dr
.
Caul
systematically
extended
his
privileges
and
freedom
,
first
allowing
him
to
leave
the
building
with
an
attendant
,
then
letting
him
sign
himself
out
,
as
other
patients
did
,
for
short
walks
—
but
only
on
hospital
grounds
.
Billy
used
this
time
to
test
the
pollution
levels
at
various
points
along
the
Hocking
River
.
He
made
plans
to
attend
classes
at
Ohio
University
in
the
spring
of
1979
,
to
study
physics
,
biology
and
art
.
He
began
to
keep
a
chart
of
his
moods
.
In
mid
-
January
,
Billy
pressed
Dr
.
Caul
to
extend
to
him
the
privilege
many
other
patients
had
—
of
going
into
town
.
He
needed
to
have
his
hair
cut
,
to
go
to
the
bank
,
to
see
his
lawyer
,
to
buy
art
supplies
and
books
.
At
first
Billy
was
allowed
to
leave
the
grounds
only
when
accompanied
by
two
hospital
employees
.
Things
went
well
,
and
soon
Caul
decided
to
allow
him
to
leave
with
only
one
attendant
.
There
seemed
to
be
no
problem
.
A
few
college
students
,
recognizing
him
from
his
pictures
in
the
newspapers
and
on
television
,
waved
to
him
.
It
made
him
feel
good
.
Maybe
not
everyone
hated
him
for
what
he
had
done
.
Maybe
society
wasn
’
t
totally
against
him
,
after
all
.
Finally
Billy
asked
that
his
therapy
take
the
next
step
.
He
had
been
a
good
patient
,
he
argued
.
He
had
learned
to
trust
others
around
him
.
Now
his
doctor
had
to
show
him
that
he
was
trusted
as
well
.
Other
patients
,
many
of
them
with
more
severe
mental
illness
than
his
own
,
were
allowed
to
go
into
town
unattended
.
He
wanted
the
same
privilege
.
Caul
agreed
that
Billy
was
ready
.
