"It seems to me that people who donâ€™t learn as easily as others suffer from a kind of learning disabilityâ€”there is something different about the way they comprehend unfamiliar materialâ€”but I fail to see how this disability is improved by psychiatric consultation. What seems to be lacking is a technical ability that those of us called â€˜good studentsâ€™ are born with. Someone should concretely study these skills and teach them. What does a shrink have to do with the process?"

-- John Irving
