From the Paper:

"Case subject is 45-year-old white male, referred to hereafter as "Joe Williams." Williams was employed at the Mercantile Stock Exchange for 23 years as a stock broker and trader. His personal financial earnings are substantial (e.g.: $2 million home and additional summer vacation residence, two $100,000 vehicles, etc.). However, Williams recently experienced significant familial challenges; his wife of 20 years has been unfaithful, his 18-year-old daughter is pregnant, and his 19-year-old son has been incarcerated. After these events occurred, William then learned that his finances had become unstable as a result of both economic conditions and his inability to pay close attention to the market and he has had to file bankruptcy. He has since manifested addictive disorders to multiple substances, including alcohol and sleeping pills and has also been diagnosed with depression and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)."
