Pychanalytical Approach

Steven V. was the only child of a very wealthy couple. His father was a business man who was rarely home and did not seek the time to form a relationship with his son. The one emotion Steven did receive from his father was disappointment because his father felt he lacked the toughness to be successful in the world and was too timid. His mother Mrs. V. also spent little time with her son, but she did manage to show him a little more affection and love then his father did. Steven opened up to his mother more. She portrayed her love for him through hugging and kissing and even letting him sleep in her bed with her while Mr. V. was away on business, but this all ended when Steven was twelve. His mother awoke very alarmed to find her son masturbating next to her. Although this was a very natural act she forbid Steven to sleep with her from now on.

that masturbation was wrong, such as violence is, and that is how he drew the connection to the two.

As for Steven’s last remarks, “she doesn’t deserve to live,” and “I swear I am going to kill her,’ referring to Linda, I would take that very seriously, although I would not contact the police. By involving the police I believe Steven would not obtain the psychiatric help he needs because it is likely a restraining order would be issued forbidding him to speak or see Linda. Also the trust between a therapist and client would be broken. I feel in order to break the “cycle” he needs to sought out his feelings and mixed emotions. I would contact Linda and make her aware of what was going on and ask her to meet with myself and Steven. I believe by going back into his childhood she will begin to understand him more.
