Frances's Performance Analysis
Frances’s performance with different occupations has decreased as the years have gone on. The biggest activities that Frances said her performance was weak in were, driving, walking and grocery shopping. Everyday Frances wakes up, goes to the bathroom, showers, gets dressed, and brushes her hair and teeth. She then goes to her kitchen to prepare a healthy breakfast for herself and her husband.

Once she returns home, she sorts through the mail and takes care of any bills that need to be paid. Every week, Frances and her husband will go out to enjoy a movie or a dinner at their favorite seafood restaurant. Sometimes

    Myra must have experienced neurotic anxiety in the presence of her husband’s “authority” as she previously must have experienced unconscious feelings of destruction against her parents because of fear of punishment, so she exaggerates her cleanings and frequently portrays herself as a martyr who does so much for others and asks so little for herself, when in reality she usually over sees the cleaning and tells others what to do, and her husband or children help her. This same neurotic anxiety makes her aggressive towards her neighbor as once grass went flying into her garden from her neighbor’s while mowing; and as a result Myra threw a fit and did not talk to the neighbor for two years. Myra displays a disturbing pattern of establishing relationships and then ending them by being rude. She sometimes criticizes people to their faces, or she just stops calling them. Moreover, this neurotic anxiety makes her concerned about spending money and she refrains from expending it despite being middle class and really not poor. As a defense mechanism, Myra has developed an anal fixation, which manifests in her obsession with neatness and orderliness.…
