Abstract
The perception of pastiming as merely an innocuous pattern of social stroking is inaccurate. The pastime also serves as a defense, specifically, as the carrier of a duplex transaction. In this article the author considers pastiming as a duplex transaction and outlines a four-step procedure for interpreting the latent and unconscious content of the duplex transaction.
