Divorce
Famous mother
And coach
1. Good Afternoon Dr., where did you go to school?
I went to Metropolitan University and received a Doctor of Psychology from Columbia University’s school of psychology. I then went to the university of Chicago and received a master in social work.
2. Can you explain what social work degree requires?
Well, in order to receive such a degree you must have done extensive stuffy in sociology anthropology, etc. I specifically did a lot of study on the family dynamic. I thesis had to do with the negative results of divorce in all spectrums of the family order.
3. What did you do after school?
I worked with DYFS where I studied divorce further.
4. What do you do now?
I have since then opened my own practice.
5. How well do you know the defendant?
Very well.
6. How well did you know the deceased?
Very well.
7. How did you observe Chris?
Well at times I interacted with Chris simply as a family friend. At other times I would watch him as a psychologist. The fact that his mother was a world famous athlete made him a very interesting case study for me. So really I have been observing Chris all his life not just now looking back.
8. Do you have any advantages seeing him in both spectrums?
Oh certainly, with most of patients I only see them twice a week and never know for sure what actually is going on at home. Being both a friend and a trained psychologist has made me be able to see Chris in his interpersonal relationships from which I would not be able to draw if I had only spoken with him individually once a week.
How did the fact that his mother was the coach affect Chris?
It acted as a stressor
What is a stressor?
How did this stressor affect him?
Negative way he not only had to perform well at competitions because he must have felt that he needed to perform extraordinarily on a daily basis because the felt-need to win the approval of his parents was great.
Were there any other stressors in Chris’s life?
The divorce
How did the divorce affect Chris?
Negatively, explain winning approval of both parents
Who placed this specific stressor of blame on him?
Chris did so subconsciously to himself.
Were there any other stressors in Chris’s life?
Yes his parent being a world famous athlete
How did the stressor of Avery being a superstar affect Chris?
Both Negatively and positively
How did it affect him positively?
Set a goal
How did it affect him negatively?
Prove he was as good as mother
Who placed this stressor on Chris?
Well society. Like mother like son Take a great violinist and give him a son. Society automatically expects him to be exceptionally musically talented.
As a friend did you ever see Avery using his position as coach to foster such feelings?
No
As a friend did you ever see Avery use blame of the divorce as a motivator?
No
And as a friend, did you ever see Avery use his position as a super star to motive Chris?
No
9. In your expert opinion, if a goal is set that is very hard to reach with these stressors in place to what end will the child go to reach those goals?
At any cost and I believe that he went so far as to put his life in danger
Just so that the jury is clear, the stressors that caused him to go at any cost were placed there by whom?
Society, and Chris subconsciously because of the situations.
10. As a friend, what accomplishments of Avery’s did you see?
Exceptional athlete and won many awards.
As a psychologist do you see any reason that the defendant would try to live her dream through him?
No, she already lived her glory days. She was still having a great life and was still getting plenty attention.
11. As a friend, how was Avery as a mother?
Avery was an exceptionally loving mother at points. I saw her try and push Chris by she would frequently tell me that she just wanted him to succeed.
How great were these stressors?
They were major
If Chris had dissatisfaction with the way his father motivated him how would he respond?
Why?
He wanted to earn his approval and in fact begged Mr/Ms Richman not to tell his mother he was upset
As an expert, what does that show you?
It shows that he wanted more than anything to gain his mother’s approval
Just so that the jury is clear, who placed these pressures of approval on Chris?
Society and himself
