Godfathers and their relatives are breaking the Mafia's code of silence to discuss their problems on the psychiatrist's couch.
In scenes familiar from the television series The Sopranos, the so-called "men of honour" are no longer content to keep their problems within their families, researchers have found.
A study by Palermo University on the island of Sicily found clinical anxiety in 20 per cent of Mafia relatives and personality disorders in 17 per cent.
I never thought I would see the day when the Mafia were dashing off to get councelling. I didn’t realise the film “Analize This” was meant to be a documentary.
