Members of the California Psychological Association have agreed to provide free psychotherapy to people who turn guns in at local police stations. Anyone who brings a gun to a Contra Costa County police station through 1994 will receive a coupon entitling the bearer to $300 worth of psychological care—either individual, marital, or group therapy. The program is the brainchild of psychologist David O'Grady, who says the program should appeal to women who feel insecure and "want other means of coping with their fears" and to men "who know hey have problems controlling their anger and want better skills."
