Psychiatric Teaching Interview. Hysterical Personality

Now you'll have to talk, before I can talk because... I just get scared when it gets quiet Well we started out with How you happened to come into the hospital and We've been talking about your parents what were the particular happenings that... Well, when I little I lived with my grandmother a lot - his mother And she and mother would go uptown to the movie or something, and they'd always leave me with him because he was either home drunk or with a hangover from being drunk and then that is when he would do what he did to me and I can remember going to the door and crying for them not to leave me and they would every time I can remember one time when I had a girl to spend the night with me - and he did it and my mother was there a lot of times Dou think he's sick? / I know hes sick / I guess you've already said that [crosstalk] In fact I can look at him around And he has really...I think he did what I did, he just regress to something he's got the mind of a child Do you think you you regressed? I know I did. Tell me about that Well To begin with I don't know how I did, I don't really know when it first started Because I didn't realize it when it happened but somehow or another I got the funny feeling that I could have a better time with younger people, which I was - having a pretty good time Until I realized it all had to come to an end. now the way I realized that was to get a divorce so I come in here. I thought well, I'll just get rested up, get my nerves straight And then I'll go home and get a divorce and be happy Well, that wasn't right My husband pointed out to me just what was going on And then I thought about it, and I started looking back, and I realized that he was right So I have started working toward coming out of that stage Now, I do have times when I go back and I know it Then I get worried about it, then I get nervous, and then I get upset Say something [cut] ...because I don't think I could be married to a man like him And I think that it's why I turned against my husband too Another reason... and how is that? Well, he's just a hardworking person And when someone makes love to me now, I want them to be affectionate and consoling Not just to want to have a sexual intercourse And I have never had that I think that's why I kind of...turned against Dr. Graham [cut] ...one person at a time right now, and I can't understand that When I'm with Dr. Graham I feel an attraction toward him Then he'll say something that hits me the wrong way, then I go to pieces The same way with my husband, when I'm with him... I can feel attraction toward him then I hate Dr. Graham When I'm with mother... I feel an attraction toward her and I hate my husband and I cannot link all that together It's the strangest funniest feeling Because I want to love everybody [cut] ...and I think that I will be strong enough and have enough courage to talk to you, to Dr. Graham, to anybody Enough that it'll help me Well I think you've done pretty well at talking with me Well you read my mind, that's exactly what I was sitting there thinking Now, I feel better with you...
