Final story of The Human Jungle and an unusual case for Dr Corder.
There is a horrible dilemma for interior designer Patrick Grant (Alan Dobie.)
His wife Catherine becomes worried about him after he has an altercation with a coal merchant. Maybe he is overworked with so many projects on the go or that his wife is spending lavishly.
Patrick tells Dr Corder that he keeps having dreams involving dogs. Dr Corder discovers that Patrick is seeing another woman.
Patrick later admits that he met a young woman called Joy (Rita Tushingham) after he ran over her dog. He learns that she is vulnerable after having lost members of her family and her boyfriend.
He is afraid of what would happen to Joy if he leaves her. Patrick is divided between his wife and children. As well his mistress who he learns is also pregnant.
I was surprised more psychological insights were not provided by Dr Corder as Joy would had been a very compelling patient for him to treat.
In the end it was what would complete Joy as a person and it would not be Patrick.
