Wallace Wood: Against the Grain, part 41
Tatjana recalled, "During that vacation, the headache started. In 1960 he was in the New York Hospital headache clinic for a week or more, and everything was checked out. After that he went once more to a private doctor; all the physical things were checked out, and nothing showed up. He finally went for some therapy. I think it probably was his suppressed anger. To say he had headaches is not correct, because it was a headache — all the time. He got up with it and went to bed with it. After he had gone a year or so to therapy, suddenly his head would be clear for some spells, little by little. Then the anger came out, and he kicked chairs. When he grew up, his mother was never angry at the boys. Later, she prided herself on the fact that she never was angry at the boys, but she just totally shut them out. To raise your voice was not appreciated. Once he started to let the anger out, he was slamming chairs around. He realized that his hand was slightly injured a lot of times, because he would slam it down on a pen point or something.”
