Dual Control
Prismark101 June 2022
Jane is a young woman who is accident prone and steps out in front of a taxi on the main road.

This is not the first time Jane has ended up in hospital. Dr Corder discovers that her much older sister Stella is controlling of Jane.

She runs an employment agency and gets Jane jobs that she is unsuited to. When Jane gets a job she likes, Stella undermines her.

Jane's father is diffident. His wife ran off with his best friend. Jane thinks her mum died.

Dr Corder is faced with an older sister and a father who do not believe in psychiatry. He thinks that Jane has more sanity than the rest of her family.

A good episode of a conflicted young woman. Her controlling sister has marital problems that she blames Jane for.

It is interesting to note that even in the 1960s, psychiatry would still be regarded as taboo to some people.
