Psychoanalytical approach

             .
             has been psychologically treated chronically since kindergarten. He had been previously diagnosed with schizoid personality, paranoid schizophrenia and manic depressive psychosis. All of his of his psychological treatment had been suggested by his parents due to his very intense childhood.
             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.
             Steven was raised mostly by a full time maid. Being alone most of the time, due to lack of parental and peer interaction, Steven kept busy by using his imagination. When he was younger he imagined himself as super heros and acted them out in extremely violent ways. As Steven grew older he became strongly interested in pornography. He would become intensely aroused by watching woman who were sexually violated. This lead to his interest in violent horror movies, such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, in which he frequently imagined his parents as the victims.
             When Steven was twenty one he began dating Linda. Linda was an active student who attended the same college as Steven. After only a few dates Steven immediately began to obsess over Linda, but Linda did not seem to reciprocate the same feelings.
