summarizer - 202-240 - krissy
In this portion of the book, Vincent enters into her third and final facility of her research, a place she dubbed Mobius. This place, from her description, is far different from both of the previous facilities she attended. It's for more structured than St. Luke's was, and leaps and bounds above Meriwether's level. Vincent goes on to describe her arrival; meeting Diggs, who is basically a chauffer for the patients, meeting the other patients that she would be living with for two weeks and the doctors and other staff that would be caring for her while there. She also talks about, as she does with both of the other facilities, what the group therapy sessions were like. She makes a point that most people don't care, don't show interest in what's happening at these therapy sessions. It's safe to say that the nicer the facility, the more effort that is put into a mentally ill person's well-being, the less interest the person being cared for has in it all. It seems that at Mobius, and St. Luke's, most patients have no desire to be a part of the group. In addition to the group therapy sessions, Vincent talks about the other forms of therapy used at Mobius, many of which she is skeptical of at first, but as she participates, she finds that they really are somewhat of a relief to her.
