Summary of In Treatment

This unconventional TV series follows a therapist, Paul (Gabriel Byrne), whose patients are steadily becoming more than he can handle. Each have their dark secrets, hidden traumas, and violent battles raging within. Among them are Laura (Melissa George), who has fallen in love with Paul; Alex (Blair Underwood), an Iraq veteran reexamining his life; Sophie (Mia Wasikowska), a suicidal teenager; and Jake and Amy (Josh Charles and Embeth Davidtz), a picture-perfect couple whose relationship is in jeopardy. Paul returned to therapy himself, with an old colleague, Gina (Dianne Wiest), helping him come to terms with his mounting professional dilemmas. Like a series of one-act plays, most of the show's dialogue-heavy episodes take place within the confines of Paul's office. During its original broadcast schedule, each patient "was seen" on a different night, five nights a week, offering viewer's a unique experience for following their development.

(*This is a Season 1 review only*) Being a long-time fan of Gabriel Byrne, I was hoping for a smart & edgy show. Instead I found a well-disguised soap opera. The pace, intensity and acting are highly engaging, but as a serious drama, it's short on believability. The thing I kept wondering was, 'How can Paul Weston get away with being such a bad therapist?' All the cases are conceivable enough, including Laura's narcissistic acting out (which somehow our good doctor never manages to fully grasp session after session.) But Paul himself is insufferable--both as a person & as a shrink. And not because of hard-hitting questions, but because of his painfully awkward demeanor, emotional cluelessness and disconnectedness from his own psyche. I also had an issue with the crossed boundaries in many of the sessions, most glaringly with Laura, who a real therapist would have referred to someone else in short order. I do get that the writers are pushing the ethical envelope in order to keep people watching, but it's still annoying if you're even remotely familiar with counseling psychology and its protocol & ethics. Even if you can somehow get past Paul's prickliness, sad smiles & missteps, his "sessions" with Gina are maddening. Why she puts up with him is not a mystery, but a disappointment. Is he paying her for these sessions? If so, then he's completely out of line as a patient when he repeatedly discusses HER life, past, etc. If he's not paying her & they're just having tete-a-tetes as old friends, then she's either a little masochistic, too lonely, or truly Buddha-like in her compassion, as he's a self-absorbed schmuck. By letting herself get sucked into Paul's drama (with or without payment) is Gina really helping him? I stopped caring enough to find out. If you've never worked with a therapist and one day find yourself in treatment with someone like Paul Weston...RUNNNN. On a positive note, Diane Wiest & Michelle Forbes are terrific here. ~NN
