FEMALE SPEAKER: You‘re not dressed? You‘re going to be late for work.
MALE SPEAKER: I‘m not going to work. I‘m sick.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Of courseyou‘re sick. You‘re hungover. Idon’t want the
boys to see you like this. Go back to bed.
MALE SPEAKER: See me like what? I told you, I’m sick.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, what do you call it when someone is sick almost
every morning, because they drink every night while they sit in the dark watching
TV?
MALE SPEAKER: You calling me a drunk?
FEMALE SPEAKER: What do you call it?
MALE SPEAKER: I call it, leave me the hell alone.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Baby, you need to stop this. It’s tearing us up. The drinking,
the anger– you’re depressed.
MALE SPEAKER: You said, for better or worse.
FEMALE SPEAKER: My vows don’t cover this. You were never like this before.
You’ve changed. I want us back, the way we used to be.

FEMALE SPEAKER: I want to thank you for getting me this Levy case. I think it’s
so interesting. Just can’t wait to meet with the client.
MALE SPEAKER: What do you find interesting about it?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, he’s just 31. Usually the vets I work with are older. If
they have PTSD, it’s from traumas a long time ago. But Jake, this is all pretty
new to him. He just left Iraq a year ago.
You know, Iwas thinkinghe’d be perfect for one of those newer treatment
options, art therapy, meditation, yoga, something like that.
MALE SPEAKER: Why?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, I’ve been dying to try one of them. I’ve read a lot of
good things. Why? What are you thinking?
MALE SPEAKER: I’m thinkingyou should really think about it some more. Think
about your priorities. It’s a good idea to be open-minded about treatment options,
but the needs of the client have to come first, not just some treatment that you or
I might be interested in.
FEMALE SPEAKER: I mean, Iwasn’t saying it like that. I always think of my
clients first.
MALE SPEAKER: OK. But you mentioned meditation, yoga, art therapy. Have
youseen any research or data that measures how effective they are in
treatment?
FEMALE SPEAKER: No.
MALE SPEAKER: Neither have I. There may be good research out there, and
maybe one or two of the treatments that you mentioned might be really good
ideas. I just want to point out that you should meet your client first, meet Jake
before you make any decisions about how to address his issues. Make sense?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Yeah.
