ABSTRACT
At the time that Sylvia seeks help, she is approximately 40 years old. She consults on account of obsessional jealousy as a result of her husband's extramarital affairs and intimate relationships. For many years, this couple had led an "open" marriage, both having affairs with different people. There came a point when she became aware of the fact that her husband was truly interested in another woman, and she felt her marriage to be threatened. As a result, she says that she feels intensely jealous and fears going totally mad, as this intense jealousy has completely invaded her.
