This question calls for your opinion, there is no right or wrong answer. Aside from fixing mental illness, a psychiatrist's primary job is to figure out the origins of mental illnesses. Before he can truly treat Alan, Dysart must dig deep into his childhood to find the root cause of the crime he committed; naturally, he looks towards his family and home life. This raises the question of who is truly at fault for Allan's actions: Alan's parents for the way they raised him, or Alan himself.
