Psychologists are practitioners of witchcraft. In this case apparently witchcraft involving cruelty to animals.

I could never do the work he did. Never.

Despite the cruelty of the means, his work did some good in that it emphasized the need for attachment at a very young age. Some would argue.

I don't know that Institutional Review Boards would allow torture and rape of animals (animal on animal) these days. I hope not.
