Magpie:
I thought Janette's wasn't so much claiming that British people 
never went to therapy, but rejecting the idea that we could assume 
she'd been to therapy because she had money, because therapy wasn't 
as common in the UK as in the US. (Actually, if I were to think JKR 
went to a therapist ever it wouldn't be because she had money but 
because she's suffered from depression--but I've no idea if she ever 
did or not.)
