Realistic or not, I think it rivetting, well written television.Peter Anthony Holderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14368239304709221496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094244645761463536.post-45223640677813975912008-03-20T08:50:00.000-07:002008-03-20T08:50:00.000-07:00Hello Dennis, thank you for pointing me at your bl...Hello Dennis, thank you for pointing me at your blog which I've been reading and enjoying immensely.<BR/><BR/>My husband and I are "In Treatment" groupies (we've seen every show). My favorite character is the therapist Gina (played by Dianne Wiest). What about her characterization?

I can't even count the number of times my therapy clients have had sex with each other simply to get back at me for not returning their affections.Dr. David Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06479996391841172460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094244645761463536.post-1643999688317895932008-03-19T22:21:00.000-07:002008-03-19T22:21:00.000-07:00Did he charge Alex's father for his hour, that's w...Did he charge Alex's father for his hour, that's what I want to know?By Ken Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305293821975250420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094244645761463536.post-26944961023366976672008-03-16T17:07:00.000-07:002008-03-16T17:07:00.000-07:00Hollywood has a long love-hate relationship with a...Hollywood has a long love-hate relationship with analysts. I haven't seen Gabriel Byrne on HBO but will look for him now. (the Coen brothers' "Millers Crossing" was once my favorite movie...)My favorite screen psychiatrist is still Dr. Fritz Lehman (played by Fritz Feld)in "Bringing Up Baby" who explains Cary Grant's hostility to Katherine Hepburn as misguided energy deriving from the mating instinct. This encourages her to pursue Grant. Lehman is a cypher, but there should be a history of this important motif in American films.
