The way Doctor Bear operates is, as some people have said, "unconventional". Many people credit him with the creation of extreme psychotherapy; a now booming industry where psychiatrists intitially used a varied pallette of extreme sports in order to overcome a patient's mental difficulties. However, they now take the practice into even less conventional territories.

Doctor Beard had initially attempted to overcome a patients fear of flying with a base jump off Angel Falls; but found that the real benefits of this technique were not to be found in the courage that the patients must find in order to overcome their fear. Rather, it forced the patient and doctor to have an unusually succinct session - due to the very small amount of time the two would have together before hitting the ground. Instead of talking around the subject until a source for the problem was established, patients found themselves getting right to the point.

He developed this practice. Recently an article was printed in a prominant psychiatric journal describing how the Doctor placed a patient in a couldron of water which was slowly heated until boiling. The patient, afraid of lethal burns, immediately blurted out the root cause of his trauma; which had previously caused him to be terrified of cows.

Not surprisingly, given the popularity of the Doctor in mainstream culture, many people choose to practice extreme psychology at home. This dangerous social phenomenon has been embraced by everybody from the very poor to the very rich. It is said to be one of the reasons why contemporary society is so well adjusted, if frequently disfigured.
