The objectives are:
1) Define laziness
2). Distinguish "normal" laziness from "pathological" laziness
3) Elucidate the elements of laziness, especially as they occur in compromise
formations, such as "failure to launch" and workaholism.
4) Engage in discussion with participants regarding their experiences with "lazy"
patients and those who defend against it
[5) Have some fun, and not work at it too hard!]
