25-year-old man. Although an exceptionally competent student, he

and asking "impossible" questions in order to prove their incompetence
and make them embarrass themselves in public. He described himself
as extraordinarily superior with feelings of disdain and confusion
toward people he experienced as different from himself-people who he
felt had lower standards and different values than he. He also described
himself as intellectually unique, stressing his specific theoretical and
philosophical perspectives and high academic standards.

result was that she worked very long hours and began to experience
exhaustion and anxiety. Sandy's husband was very worried about
Sandy. He talked about her rigid adherence to "doing things her way"
that resulted in her doing all the housework, cooking and cleaning.

up to her exacting standards at home, which greatly affected her
relationships.
