Extenuating circumstances

Changes in science have always prompted changes in science fiction. However, the general structure of the novels have remained essentially the same throughout the ages.

The clinician will say, “Can you tell me what we will say to ourselves when waiting for Kevin to respond? And what does that acronym (SOUL) stand for?
