Monsters Under The Bed
Joe has been seeing a psychoanalyst for four years for treatment of the fear that he had monsters under his bed. It had been years since he had gotten a good night's sleep.
Furthermore, his progress was very poor, and he knew it. So, one day he stops seeing the psychoanalyst and decides to try something different.
A few weeks later, Joe's former psychoanalyst meets his old client in the supermarket, and is surprised to find him looking well-rested, energetic, and cheerful.
- Doc! - Joe says.
- It's amazing! I'm cured!
- That's great news! - the psychoanalyst says.
- you seem to be doing much better. How?
- I went to see another doctor - Joe says enthusiastically.
- and he cured me in just ONE session!
- One?! - the psychoanalyst asks incredulously.
- Yeah - continues Joe.
- my new doctor is a behaviorist.
- A behaviorist? - the psychoanalyst asks.
- How did he cure you in one session?
- Oh, easy - says Joe.
- He told me to cut the legs off of my bed.
