Family did tend to be the root of most patients' problems, in one way or another, so Wilson wasn't surprised to hear that. The way the recap was rattled off was shocking, though - mainly because Aubrey held hardly any expression as he explained things that should have been shameful, embarrassing, and humiliating.

On the other hand, it was possible he did feel those things, but just didn't express them. Dr. Huang's "diagnosis" seemed right as far as Wilson could tell. Now, whether these things that Aubrey had explained were real or not, that was a question. On the other hand, for the moment they were real for him, which meant that they needed to be dealt with before any more progress could be made. Chances were that these issues, even if fabricated, had some basis in Aubrey's real life, so...

"I'd say so," he responded after a moment. "Stunted, but not without emotion, it sounds like." Even if feeling something for his half-sister would be considered wrong in most - if not all - societies, at least he was able to feel. Sociopaths weren't easily cured, as far as Wilson could tell.

"So, would you like to continue discussing your father and your sister, and who would you want to start with? Or are the two problems connected?"
