In contrast to the underachiever, the antiachiever is not unhappy with failing grades; he rejects and opposes academic goals or 'whatever you've got'. The antiachiever has been criticized and humiliated, and feels he is treated as a slave. He chooses friends with a similar view. A therapist needs to provide a corrective emotional experience by actively finding a common interest that is comfortable for the patient to discuss.
