T is a 40-year-old businessperson who recently
completed a round of court-ordered psychotherapy and AA meetings that resulted
from two arrests in the space of two years for DUI (driving under the influence).
With his driver’s license reinstated and no longer being compelled to attend
therapy or groups, it’s back to the usual routine—90-minute business lunches
with important clients that usually include anywhere from one to three
alcoholic beverages.

Try to find out what’s going on in the mind of T.

H has just broken up with her fiancé after an
eight-year-long relationship. She and her significant other had been dating all
throughout college, and all their mutual friends had been assuming that they

they did while she was attached. She’s never available for clubbing and other
social activities that are typical of the newly 

unattached.

SO – what’s the deal with Ms. H, anyway?

P recently finished an MBA program and was faced with
the happy dilemma of choosing between three different high-powered, well-paying

retirement options along with the lavish salary.

Ask P how he/she is feeling about this job and its
place in his/her career goals.
