An enlisted man in the Air Corps had some previous experience as a private pilot. After a disagreement with his wife, he decided to punish her by committing suicide. Choosing the most dramatic method he could think of, he took off in a large, unattended aircraft and made several passes at a local river, each time pulling up before he plunged in. Very soon, all other planes were diverted to other cities, and the local control tower was concentrating on trying to persuade him to change his mind. He finally agreed, but then he discovered that although he knew how to take off, he did not know how to land the unfamiliar plane. After some tense interchanges with the tower control, however, he managed to get the plane down. When the military police arrived at the scene, he found himself unable to remember his name or anything about his identity, hid present situation, or the events leading up to it.

We found that the best method to help Brian cope with his diagnosis was Psychodynamic therapy. PT is a form of in-depth talk therapy in a place where you will not be judged for what you say. The client is to say what they are feeling in the moment they think in that moment. The therapist will notice thoughts that extend to the patients childhood and tell them how that event in childhood lead them to think a certain way.
FA was developed by famous psychologist Sigmund Freud in 1892 to 1898. He created it to explore the unconscious mind. This type of therapy entailed saying anything they feel, as the therapist writes it down and only listens, to void the patient feeling judged or censorship. At the end of the session, the therapist will go over the thoughts and how the correlate. This helps bring back memories that the patient repressed into his unconscious, In Brian's case, this will help him remember everything about himself and what happened that day on the plane.
If Brian continues to go to his FA therapy sessions for at least 6 months, he will start to improve. He will begin to regain his sense of self and not forget his most important information, override the defense mechanisms that made his unconscious take over {repression), can help lessen the manic episodes, help fix the relationship with his wife to make it healthier, and understand how he truly feels overall.
