The spin doctor story is interesting. We should all wonder if we have such a doctor in our mental hospital.

Sometimes people have counter-spin doctors though. They spin things contray to their interests. that's more than being objective, that's being biased against oneself. They are pretty few I believe but there are around, I myself had a counterpsin doctor in my mind for a time. I had to apply some torque and reverse the spin some.

Best af all is the no-spin doctor, a doctor who analyzes events and mental states in a detached and unbiased way.
That's difficult since we tend to be influenced by mental states, being consciousness more than matter.

Once we can feel the presence of the no-spin doctor though, we acquire extreme clarity of thought and objectiveness.
