ABSTRACT
We ' l l be going beyond the notion of story l ine and detai l ing with suggestions very shortly. So watch how we do that now. This is a tape of a paranoid young man w h o came from M e x i c o when he was 15. I want you to see this in act ion first, so don' t worry that you can't construct metaphors. Here is the cl ient you are about to see. This fe l low is single and is dat ing. His girlfriend is crit ical of h im . He feels such anxiety that his palms sweat, his heart palpitates, his breathing is sha l low, and he has to go home and sleep. A n d that is the only way out of it. He goes home from the job at two o ' c lock several times a week and takes a nap, wh i ch is going to get h im fired. The anxiety comes because he thinks anyone watch ing h im talk to a man w i l l know that he is homosexua l . So he talks to a man at his job and then he starts th inking they all think he is homosexua l .
