I have been looking forward to the new HBO series, "In Treatment", since I first heard about it some months ago. I will be watching and will post my thoughts about each episode the next day.
I have toyed with teaching a course for our local Senior College about therapy in the movies because so many times what is portrayed is laughable, even when, as in movies like Good Will Hunting, the movie shrink shows some good work. Actually my favorite movie therapists are the comic ones -- from Grosse Pointe Blank, Analyze This, and of course, What About Bob?. I have high hopes that this time something much closer to therapy as I know it, both as a patient and a therapist is what I will see.
