Such 88 THE WORK OF OUR HANDS patients may have been under the charge of many physicians, and may have wandered from Maine to California. Trying to hold them to one thing sometimes arouses stubbornness. It is a good plan to have a variety of the same kind of work, so that the interest may be kept up, while the patient is still working at the same craft. Sometimes, too, it is wise to allow the patient a liberty of choice in order to find any genuine talent for some kind of work. Ill READJUSTMENT... ONE who falls a victim to any organic disease may remain the same in character, his quali- ties and inclinations may be unchanged, the- oretically he may be the same individual, but not infrequently he has changed from a plus quantity to a minus. If he becomes a plus again it is because his efficiency has survived, and he has devised some means by which he can carry on his work, or because he has mani- fested an adaptability which has enabled him to turn his energies into new channels. But, unfortunately, before he is in a condition to readjust his life to changed circumstances he must go through a period of mental struggle, if he is at all sensitive, almost as hard to bear as his physical pain.
