ABSTRACT
In many ways, my work with Travis, age 42, paralleled several of my other male clients. A computer programmer, he had an air of confidence about him that was striking. My first impressions were that he might be a bit cocky, guarded, and defensive. But about halfway through our first session, these impressions quickly wore off. He seemed genuinely thoughtful and psychologically minded. He talked openly about his feelings at work and as a recently married man.
