It sure sounds like Holden has a breakdown when he sees Phoebe on the
carousel.  Otherwise, how would he have wound up in the therapy place
near Hollywood?  This fall of his is also predicted by Mr. Antolini.  On
the other hand, it seems that Holden resolves his conflicts while
watching Phoebe on the carousel-like thinking to himself that you have
to let little kids fall off sometimes and so on.  Hell, I don't know.
