I'm reminded of Anti-Trauma, Inc. from John Brunner's The Shockwave Rider:

"... I work for Anti-Trauma, Inc, you see. Very sensibly, the moment Gail's parents detected signs of deviant behavior in her, they signed her pu for a full course of treatment. ... it was all a setup, naturally. We dosed her with scotophobin and shut her in a dark room, to negate the womb-retreat impulse, gave her a phallic weapon to degrade residual sexual envy, and turned an anonymous companion loose in there with her. When she struck out, we turned up the lights to show her mother's body lying all bloody on the floor, and then we gave her the chance to run like hell. With me trailing her, of course. Wouldn't have wanted her to come to any harm."
