ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the case study of Allan. Allan began to realise the complexity and depth of the struggle in which he has enmeshed himself. In fact, Allan quickly became entranced with the dynamics of therapy for his own sake, and quickly forewent the notion that he was doing it for his partner’s sake. He found the process of analysis fascinating, perhaps the more so because his career as a political analyst relies so heavily upon his skills of analysis in a different arena. Allan was very interested in cricket as a child and as a young teenager; his parents participated in his hobby to the extent that they attended the matches, but only to sell the raffle tickets and make the teas, and to make it the main vehicle of their social life. In fact, he was of County standard, and was chosen by the National Cricket Association scout from Lords Cricket Ground to become professional.
