Latest Treatment Suggestions

Terry: I want Nathan to come out and see what he thinks about Howie.

Dionysius: DR. Fletcher, I would suggest that you try to get Howie to confront Nathan. Try to get coax Nathan out of his shell and perhaps have both personalities out at once. Then provide the spark to a debate between the two of them. Examine the tape and even show it to Howie. Then, discover Nathan's major fear and exploit it in hopes of erradicating this persona.

John: Dr. Fletcher, I would suggest attacking Howie?s political ideology rather than approaching the problem from the perspective of psychiatry. Test the salience of the man?s political identity to determine where his political loyalties really lie (that should be easy enough, right?). I suspect that Howie is having trouble with the definition of the word ?politician.? Does he think that every politician agrees with everything he says to the public? I think you may have found the one truly na?ve politician working today. Either that or the Republican party has its political operatives more hypnotized than I thought (and, in that case, hats off to you, Karl Rove)! Maybe you should try hypnotism if all else fails.

Howard Decker: I grow increasingly frustrated that Howie the Helper and Nathan the Imp are getting all the attention. While Howie whines about his pathetic little domestic problems, guess what HOWARD is up to, Doctor? Have you ever heard of Iraq, Doc? Do you know the identity of the man behind our country's overseas venture in the desert sands we call Iraq, Doc? Me. Howard. How's that for a little shock and awe? My treatment suggestion is this: the next time Howie the Whiner comes into your office, tell him you've spoken with HOWARD. Say it just like that -- "You know, Howie, I've spoken to HOWARD." Watch his reaction, Doctor. You will witness the fastest cure in the history of psychiatry, I promise you.

All the best, Howard

Danni: I definitely think that you should induce Nathan to come out and have a chat. I'd be interested to see what he feels about being the sub-ego of Howie.

Ippledod Hirsch: Ok, I saw this once in Primal Fear. Attack Howie personally, put him under serious stress and try to get Nathan to take over. It would be great to get that sadistic bastard on tape. Poor Howie. GOP forever!

Howard Decker: I know both Howie and Nathan. Very well. Howie works to get others elected because he cannot work for himself. Nathan is a mischeivous imp, nothing more. To treat them effectively you must make them each understand that they are puny, inconsequential, talentless frauds. Tell them that they know in the depth of their souls who really has the brains and charisma to be a SUCCESS. It is not an ELECTION, Howie, for G-d's sake, you fool. It is destiny. I, HOWARD, am the chosen one. You lose your keys because you do not hold the key. You wake up in a library because you want for knowledge. I am your only hope. Doctor, Howie has no real choice, but you do. Help him understand. I give you my permission, tell him to submit to what he already knows, to use the key he already holds, tell him Howard has won -- by a landslide.

Sam Kronitz: I can't believe the story. A Democrat taking over a Republican strategist's consciousness...the possibilities are endless.

david: wow, how outrageous. godddd i want to be nathan. the havoc i would wreak.
