Description

St Mary's Hospital School - the motto: through obedience comes learning, through discipline comes obedience. Humiliating enough that it should be proudly emblazoned on the front of the gymslip, the breat pocket of the stiffly starched blouse, the little open-fronted waist-length cape - that fastened so tightly at the throat and that she wore of occasion over the top - and just about every other item of clothing to boot. As a statement of intent that fine embroidery spoke volumes; the crossed crook-handled canes as a heraldic device was of particularly questionable value, practically openly stating to the world that here was a young lady subject to the kind of physical chastisement that most would have assumed had long been consigned to history. But then again, the uniform itself was a thing of the past, an anachronistic throwback to long-obsolete values and the mentality of seen-but-not-heard, quiet-as-a-mouse submissive femininity. Bad enough, then, that she was way past school age - worse still that the institution in question was little more than the outcome of a gleam in a psychologist's eye. Elsewhere, another young womnan, already resigned to her ugly green and white striped nylon prison uniform dress, was beginning to appreciate the real meaning behing the nomenclature: Victorian Workhouse. Both have in common that they are at loggerheads with their respective guardians, both are volunteers having been persuaded of the advisability of building a financial buffer before starting university, but more importantly before undertaking mounting a legal challenge for their inheritance and rights. The financial return for a 90 day residential clinical trial had seemed too good to be true - perhaps it was. For both these young women it had been far easier to hoin than it was was turning out it would be to leave - there was always some obstruction, some excuse, some extension to their stay, justifiable by one clause or another. Both young women were now learning the hard way that freedom could be as tenous as a spidery signature scrawled on a crumpled document.

FOREWORD
(A spanked and caned heiress, stern stepmother, domineering aunt, discipline, institutional punishment caning, spanking & unethical experimental psychology)
omeone once said that social roles are to some extent the shapers of our personality and vice versa . But what if only one role is left open to be played - what then? In any particular situation one adapts so as to follow the path of least resistance. One might say that the substance morphs so as to best fit the mould; in its turn, a construct of social expectation and wrapped tightly around a core of sociologically-conditioned, stereotypical thought.
Here, in the present scenario, one half of that equation is fixed and, furthermore, the outcome has been multiplied a thousand fold by the natural predilections of one of the groups of protagonists. One has to take into account that the women staffing the institution depicted herein were handpicked for their roles because of - rather than despite of - predilections and tendencies that, on the surface of it, should have disqualified each and every one of them from ever holding any supervisory position involving teenage girls, let alone one in which they would have carte blanch to devise rules, restrictions, regulations…and punishments.
For the other half of the equation therefore - those poor unfortunates that in one way or another have been persuaded, convinced, coerced or otherwise to volunteer as candidates for what had been billed as “an interesting, challenging and financially rewarding opportunity to participate in a unique residential experimental-psychology study and exploration into the human psyche” - there is only one pathway left open, one role to play. For our hapless young subjects, in one way or the other, that role is that of prisoner - or, at best, psychiatric patient. Accordingly they bow to authority - we are, after all, the role that we play and nothing else.
This, then, is situational attribution - that is: behaviour dependent on socially conditioned and anticipated role-play. It is the very foundation of what, to my mind at least, is an absolutely essential story element, whether it be a tale of science fiction, a swashbuckling historical romance or, as here, a tale of strict discipline, corporal punishment, psychological manipulation and the cynical exploitation of vulnerable and nubile young ladies - plausibility .
Let’s Play Catch Up
Following on from the events depicted in Institutionalised : Beyond the Stanford Experiment , the first in this series, in this, the second volume, we continue with our unashamedly voyeuristic exploration of the trials and tribulations of our two heroines, Susan Stringer and Lavinia Vitesse, as each is led ever deeper into her own personalised nightmare at the hands of the nurses and psychologists that populate the privately run and funded residential experimental psychology unit wherein each is presently housed – a place as secure as any prison and itself housed deep within the bowels of the secure psychiatric wing of a secluded and discreet private medical facility.
Ostensibly in service to the furtherance of the science of psychology, it has become increasingly apparent, as their story has progressed, that each girl’s continuing incarceration is in actuality as much due to the whim and manipulation of her respective stepmother or guardian as anything else.
Although at this point in the proceedings neither girl knows anything of the other’s existence, they have much in common: Each has volunteered to take part in a long-term residential clinical trial, involving an aspect of psychological experimentation. Each, although having signed up at a different time, several months apart in fact, was initially attracted as much by the promise of help and support with her psychological problems – real or imaginary - as by the prospect of the substantial financial reward waiting at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.
Yet this is not the end of the coincidences that have ruled these two young women’s lives thus far:
Susan Stringer - blonde and pretty with ringlets framing her face and bouncing on her forehead – bookish and retiring, yet somehow entertaining pretensions to the acting profession – she had ever been the archetypal daddy’s girl. Was it surprising then that, having been pampered to within an inch of her life by her doting father after the death of her mother, she should have become a somewhat petulant little miss, a real princess of overindulgence.
Having been forced to endure her beloved father’s protracted degeneration and eventual demise, the blame for which she unhesitatingly laid squarely in the hands of her stepmother, a haughty young woman half his age, young Susan, barely seventeen at the time, had been left shattered and deeply vulnerable.
Throughout his illness, having few living relatives, the friendship and support she had received had come by way of a rather unexpected channel - one of her stepmother’s closest friends in fact. From the very first day that her father had been diagnosed as terminal this soft-spoken if somewhat overbearing middle-aged woman had taken charge, tucking her firmly under her wing.
Encouraged from the outset to consider the woman her ‘aunt’, as time went by she had gradually become more and more dependent on her - and the woman more and more controlling of her . By the time of her father’s final departure, this clever, calculating, manipulative woman - a certain Ms Julia Soames - had practically taken over every day-to-day decision in Susan’s young life. It was throughout this period that Susan’s complex array of psychological problems first began to surface: At first it was just a mild form of agoraphobia. Then she had developed hopeless bouts of indecision, sometimes even over such simple matters as what to wear for the day. Such bouts invariably led to panic attacks if left unresolved - but again, ‘Aunt’ Julia had always been there, ever-ready to take up the slack. ‘Aunt’ Julia could always be replied upon to step in and make the necessary decisions for her, only too happy to go rummaging through her informally adopted niece’s wardrobe and chest of drawers and throw together a suitable outfit for her.
It was also through this period that, encouraged by Ms Soames, Susan had first begun to seek professional help. Again it was Ms Soames who had come up with the solution and soon a psychologist acquaintance of hers had duly been brought in to the girl’s life.
Come the day of her father’s funeral and Julia Soames’s kind offer of a place of respite - somewhere far removed from her torturous home life and the ever deteriorating relationship between her fractious stepmother and herself - had been gratefully accepted. At Julia’s insistence, and her doctor’s concurrence, the tussle with her grasping stepmother over her inheritance had been pushed onto the backburner for the time being. A time would come, she had been promised, when she would be well enough - and then, with her ‘aunt’s’ help, she would take what was rightfully hers. But for the time being she was told she was to relax, not to trouble her little head nor concern herself over such matters but rather let those around her, who knew better the complexities and pitfalls of the world, “take the decisions, deal with all those bothersome niggling little legal and financial matters that worried her so much and make all the necessary arrangements”.
And so it came to pass that the blossoming young Susan Stringer found herself packed off to stay with her crutch and saviour and from thereon in to live under her dominion. Then, of course, some considerable time later - and she, herself, didn’t fully understand why she had done it - she had volunteered as a research subject in the residential medical trial she was presently ensconced in.
