Yes, the poor guy!! Have you ever noticed how the common antidote
to any of his problems seems to be a sound slap across the face
from a slaphappy Kirk?  I offer proof:
.pp
In "The Naked Time" the crew is infected by some disease that
brings out their innermost hangups/desires/fears. Spock starts
crying because he could never express his emotions, and ducks into
a briefing room. Kirk finds him, and after a little conversation,
starts slapping him up.(presumably to get him to come to his
senses, shake off the effects of the disease, and save the
ship.) I suppose the slapping was necessary to transmit the disease
to Kirk, because if slapping was a valid antidote, they could
have done the same thing they did in " This Side of Paradise"
