Excerpts frоm The Cаse оf Frаnk:  (Discussed in Clаss, pоsted under Readings) THERAPIST: What sorts of problems have been troubling you during the past month?FRANK: I’m beginning to have a lot of marital problems. I was married about 9 months ago, butI’ve been really tense around the house and we’re having a lot of arguments.......During the first 10 minutes or so of the interview, Frank seemed to be quite tense and anxious and would often look down at the floor while he talked, glancing up only occasionally to make eye contact. Sometimes, his right leg would twitch a bit. Frank was also closing his eyes very tightly for a period of 2 to 3 seconds. It was during these periods when his eyes were closed that his right leg would twitch. .......The interview proceeded for the next half hour; by this time he was talking freely and looking up a little more at the therapist, but he was continuing to close his eyes and twitch his right leg. ............ THERAPIST: Are you thinking about anything when you close your eyes?FRANK: Well, actually I’m trying not to think about something. ................What is the presenting problem?
