A new Van Zanten comic for the economist magazine ESB. My translation: 1) Introducing market mechanisms in psychiatry is a rare example of positive thinking. 2) Patients are no longer seen as helpless and needy, but as durable sources of income. 3) For doctors, the challenge is to keep their patients just ill enough, so they have to keep paying visits often over a long period. 4) For example, my addiction to gambling has successfully been turned into a compulsory obsession to see my shrink twice a week.
