Synopsis

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing - especially in the hands of a budding psychoanalyst!

Laurie Huntington is nineteen, bright, and impersonally scientific.

Her family has its faults, but Laurie can analyze them - to death!

She's turned the house into an experimental maze.

When Laurie administers one of her ink blot tests to her mother's friends who are important to her father's getting a much needed bank loan, matters explode!
