Hollywood just can't help itself. Every few years, along comes a movie or a TV show with a psychiatrist prowling through the plot. A killer shrink from Hitchcock, Billy Crystal and DeNiro in "Analyze This," and Dr. Melfi in "The Sopranos."
Now HBO has put therapy and therapists on the national couch in the new series "In Treatment," where for one half hour every night of the week, a patient walks in, sits down and talks.
Listen to an On Point discussion about HBO's "In Treatment" and America's relationship with psychotherapy and the talking cure.
Have you watched HBO's "In Treatment" on your big TV screen or are you catching it on the web? Is this therapy as you know it?
