He is the middle-man, the interpreter, the vulgariser. The psycho-physiological processes need not concern us.

... theatre seems to have changed its language: the boards speak now in Yiddish. The chiropractor and psycho-analyst has invaded the Place, as may be seen by a sign on the eastern side. O.
