And while we're on the subject of psychotherapy, here's a claim for the

And could also be looked at as a form of (possibly systematic)
desensitization, particularly if the King in his perceptiveness
gradually encouraged Ivarr to talk more directly about Oddny.
Also, Ivarr's public pining might not have been completely in vain
since (to add an operant analysis) it had the consequence of
producing a comfortable lifestyle for the angst-ridden poet!
