Doctor Paddles Girl's Hand 01A

Girl kept padlocked in leg braces as part of a psychology experiment - by Angela Fox, inspired by a tale written by Garth Toyntanen (INSTITUTIONALISED volume 3) toyntanen.blogspot.co.uk/ note the padlocks used to secure the leg braces and the card marked "stutterer" hanging around the girl's neck.

 

Here psychological pressure is being applied in an attempt to deliberately induce stammering as part of a residential experimental psychology study the poor thing has been fooled into volunteering for by her scheming guardian. Note the straitjackets visible within the cupboard at the rear (the threat against non-compliance is obvious), the spiral device used for hypnotherapy on the psychologist's desk, and of course the ever-present school cane.

 

More of Angela Fox's artwork can be found on Garth Toyntanen's website beyondthebarredwindow.weebly.com/ and her books on LULU, for example www.lulu.com/shop/angela-fox/the-wardress/ebook/product-2...
