Prof. John Money


According to this brief bio of Janet Frame, http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/6f1/frame-janet-paterson , the psychology lecturer who was such a serious influence in her 20s was John Money, who went on to do pioneering, controversial work in sexual identity and the biology of gender. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Money

I find it disturbing, though, that he was instrumental in her 1st hospitalization, which led to misdiagnosis and to years of confinement. Can anyone shed any light on how this affected their relationship in later years? From the little I've read, Frame seems to have continued viewing him as a friend and supporter, which puzzles me.

Thanks.
