I am forty‑five years old and I feel that my life is sifting through my hands. Perhaps this is not the type of case that you expect me to tell you; I only know that I need to fill this vacuum that I have inside. I don’t have any desire to go on living. Death [...]
I am an only child. My father died seven years ago, and I currently live with my mother, my husband, and my two grown children. The problem that I have is that since the time I got married twenty‑two years ago, my mother has never liked my husband and she has always wanted to control [...]
Hello! Thank you for accepting my case. I need help in how to discipline my son who is seventeen years old. He is loving when he wants to be, but most of the time he is very rebellious. He doesn’t do what I ask or tell him to do. When I don’t go along with [...]
My life had always been peaceful, as I dedicated myself to my work and to my studies. Nevertheless, in 2001 a colleague invited me to visit a casino with him. Since I had never been in a casino with slot machines before..., he suggested that I just put a coin into a slot, so I [...]

My case began ten years ago. My father has always had a weakness for women; in other words, he’s a womanizer. My mother has always argued with him about this, but he won’t settle down. They have separated thousands of times, only to get back together. I have an older brother, a sister who is [...]
I have a ten‑year‑old daughter with cerebral palsy. Four years ago I was diagnosed with severe coxarthrosis, thus needing an operation to insert a prosthesis that would be very costly for me. Since I have felt my health deteriorating with each passing day, I have thought many times about taking my life along with the [...]
I am a twenty‑three‑year‑old young woman with a three‑year‑old son. His father and I are no longer together. He doesn’t help support his son, and that has made me have a bad attitude. I have slept with four different men in less than a year. I am desperate and don’t know what to do. I [...]
