hormones. He claims to have “cured” several TSs and TVs. On inquiry into his methods it came down to a kind of group psycho- therapy. He had about 30 of various persuasions who had met togeth- er weekly and explored themselves and each other pretty deeply. As a result several were said to have regressed from the TS back to the TV condition or if TVs back to a non-dressing condition. This I could understand and approve of since I've always said that the only person who could “cure” a TV was himself and then only if he learned enough about it and the pressures to refrain were much stronger than those to indulge.

Aug. 1. Started the day with an interview with a writer for Forum Magazine which is a sort of Sexology of England but more dignified and conservative. She has sent me the proposed write up which I have gone over and returned so it should be appearing pretty soon. Also went to see "Cover Girl” who has a world wide service obtaining heels and other clothing for TVs, TSS or what have you. We discussed making contacts with her people and I have since heard from her— she wants to be a distributor in England so that was well worthwhile. Dinner with one of my readers.

Aug. 2. Today I moved from my hotel to the outskirts of London in West Hampstead to live in the mens dormitory of Westfield College for about a week. It was a somewhat spartan existance and not nearly as swanky as most dormitories in American colleges. I was attending the International Congress of Social Psychiatry and they had made arrangements for a lot of us to stay there. Dinner with another Dr. from the Seminar. He was having a cocktail party anyway when he in- vited me from the Seminar. I went as just another guest, no mention of TVism or anything related. I was just a lady psychologist and friend of his. When it came time to leave in a pouring rain I was standing at the door and he came over and kissed me on both cheeks by way of giving me his approval. His wife standing right there and who also know the situation, said, “I didn't get anything like that," so I upped and kissed her. Real great people and such a lovely form of acceptance.

Aug. 3. Registered for the Congress and met a lady doctor from Baltimore. After the reception we went into London together and had a fascinating dinner at an Indian restaurant-smells of curry, ginger, etc. in the air. She of course knew nothing about me—at the time.

Aug. 4. Had an interview with the "24 Hour Show" on BBC. Two interviewers were really sold and I was to call them a couple of hours
