News: Ruby Wax the shrink will see you now - The Times

Ruby Wax, "the scarlet-lipped smartass", is interviewed in The Times (15 June 2008) about her new project, Ruby's Room, part of an online BBC series of films about mental health.

Ruby has been training to become a psychotherapist. In the piece she is asked about the difference between American and British neurosis. She comments: "The British don’t talk about them,” she says . “It’s a combination of anal retention and the stiff upper lip. Funny, they are both orifices. The British are in full denial of the fact that anything can be wrong."
