In 1979, in what appeared to be, "in part, a reaction to the restrictiveness of our holding in Baldassari ..." (see Leardi *865 v. Brown, 394 Mass. 151, 158 [1985]), the Legislature amended § 9 (1), and deleted the "loss of money or property" requirement. See St. 1979, c. 406, § 1. Section 9 (1), as amended, provides in pertinent part as follows: "Any person ... who has been injured by another person's use or employment of any method, act or practice declared to be unlawful by section two ... may bring an action ... for damages...." The present case arises under the amended version of § 9; therefore, in a new context we confront an old question, namely, whether recovery for the intentional infliction of severe emotional distress is possible under G.L.c. 93A, § 9.
