Document Summary

His recent inability to maintain an erection when making love to his wife was the immediate reason for his seeking therapy. His mother died suddenly when he was only 6 and for the next 10 yrs he lived either with his father or with a maternal aunt. His father drank heavily and the mans moods were extremely variable; he had even been hospitalized with a diagnosis of manic depressive psychosis. Brett often became depressed for no apparent reason and sometimes this was followed by periods of manic. He felt self conscious with ppl who he felt had authority over him and he was esp sensitive about his clothes which were old compared to his peers. He entered the police academy and he had hopes that his badge and uniform would give him the instant respect that he seemed incapable of earning on his own. He wondered if he was actually avoiding the responsibility of having a child.
