P287 Case 31 Ian and Peter are two brothers in their mid-thirties. Ian studied civil engineering at university and Peter studied fine art. Ian studied engineering mainly to do something different from his older brother Peter, but also because he felt it would lead to a more secure job. Peter developed his artistic inclinations mainly because of family praise about his early efforts at drawing and because he had often been told that his Uncle Reginald was a good painter and that there was a strong artistic streak in the family that he had inherited. Although he studied art, Peter is actually very practical with his hands. He likes working out how things work. Similarly, although Ian studied engineering he is not very good with his hands and as a student he played the bass guitar in a rock band. When at home their mother would ask the following questions, "Peter, what colour should we paint the kitchen?", "Ian, where should we best put our savings?" or "How best should we design the living room extension?" Being typed as an artist was something Peter found very annoying and difficult to get away from. He remembered the joke a friend made when he introduced him to a girl: "This is Peter. He studies art with a capital 'F'." Everyone laughed, including Peter, but he was secretly annoyed. From his point of view, people labeling him as an artist made him seem peripheral to "important" things. Ian, as it happened, had the same problem: he felt people saw him as boring and not worth talking to as an engineer. So he would say he was studying an arts subject when at a party in university. Q: What problems did Ian and Peter have respectively?
