Bliss

By James White

Youth and beauty are the color of blood. This youth, this beauty, has a name. That name is Bliss...

When a compassionate psychiatrist tries to help a self-mutilating young woman, he discovers that some maladies exist beyond the realm of science, and that some solutions are their own special horror.
