Like every morning, Greta Salimbeni entered the studio wearing one of her severe grey suits.
Dr. Salieri's assistant was able to change the general impression people made of her. Greta could appear icy, winking, surly, or sensual, all without being aware of it, as if the virtues and flaws were only in the eye of the beholder.
When she started working in the studio she was a young married woman, but disappointed by marriage. One recurring thought was that she would soon become the lover of her boss. But Salieri was in love with his wife. And a good marriage was a necessary balancing act for someone in the psychiatric profession.
Those who treated men's psyches had to maintain a private life without conflict and tension, or else they would dump their frustrations on their patients.
