The case history of Jimmy, an attractive young man whose life is crippled by behavior patterns carried over from a tod-demandent childhood. When we first see Jimmy he is sick, though, we later learn, his illness has no physical cause. He finds it difficult to face and deal with the ordinary problems of life and takes frequent refuge in the comfort of his mother, sister, and wife. But through the patient retracing of childhood experiences in talks with the doctor, Jimmy comes to understand the emotional causes of his illness and fear, and tackled, his life with new confidence. <32mn>
