In Treatment	comment	Based on the Israeli drama BeTipul, this HBO show thwarts There Are No Therapists and Hollywood Psych (as best it can in a 30 minute time limit per episode, anyway). Set in Baltimore and later Brooklyn, it shows four sessions a week of Paul Weston (Gabriel Byrne), therapist, and his clients. Some of Paul's own personal issues come out during the sessions, as well as seeing Paul's family. On the fifth day, Paul sees his own therapist / ex-mentor Gina.Note: even though you may want to skip watching certain patients every week, you really can't skip any of them in order to make sense of some other episodes (especially the Gina ones).The show has a bit of Epiphany Therapy to it, given the short timelines, but otherwise seems to try to be as realistic as it can about the therapeutic process. The credits also show they have a professional therapist consultant.The series started in 2008. It was not a big moneymaker for HBO (perhaps owing to its slow-pacing/reliance on dialogue) but a third season started in 2010. It cuts things down to three sessions a week. The series unofficially ended in December 2010, when HBO did not renew it, but did not officially cancel it. There were rumors about it returning for years, until July 2020, when HBO officially announced Season 4, a Retool, which will be set in Los Angeles, have an entirely new cast, with Uzo Aduba as Dr. Brooke Taylor, replacing Gabriel Byrne. It premiered on May 23, 2021 and was cancelled in 2022.This American Foreign Remake of an Israeli series got a Foreign Remake itself when a Dutch version was made, named In Therapie and running for 2 seasons in 2010-2011, starring Jacob Derwig and Kim Van Kooten.Season 1 clients: Laura (Melissa George), who's been in love with Paul for a year while being romantically involved with Andrew. And later with Alex. Alex (Blair Underwood), an Ace Pilot who has daddy issues, killed a lot of schoolchildren in The War on Terror, wants to leave his wife, and might not be as self-assured as he claims to be. Sophie (Mia Wasikowska), a gymnast with parental issues who goes to therapy after getting into an accident that could have killed her. Jake and Amy (Josh Charles and Embeth Davidtz), a couple having marital difficulties and a debate over whether to have another child.Season 2 clients: Mia (Hope Davis), a once and former patient of Paul's who is bitter about being single and childless. April (Alison Pill), a college student with cancer who's not getting treated for it. Oliver (Aaron Grady Shaw), a kid caught in a nasty fight between his parents Walter (John Mahoney), a businessman who can't sleep, but has a lot more problems than just that.Season 3 clients: Sunil (Irrfan Khan), an Indian math teacher who is having trouble adjusting to living with his son and his family after his wife's death. Frances (Debra Winger), an aging actress with memory problems, a sister with breast cancer, and a strained relationship with her daughter. Jesse (Dane DeHaan), a gay teenager who can't connect with his adoptive parents or boyfriends and has trouble opening up.Season 4 clients: Eladio (Anthony Ramos), a patient who works as a home health aide for a wealthy family. Colin (John Benjamin Hickey), a millionaire white collar criminal who has recently been released from prison. Laila (Quintessa Swindell), Brooke's rebellious teenage patient whose grandmother is forcing her to attend therapy.

Her desperation to protect her daughter suddenly becomes completely justified. In Series Two, Paul finally snaps at when April continually refuses to go for Chemotherapy, despite her worsening conditioning. At his wits end, Paul finally agrees to take her so that she will actually get help. His method of doing this is to cruelly browbeat her into going, and while it is a huge breach of doctor/patient boundaries, it does save her life.

In Treatment / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: In the first Gina episode in Season 1 she is joking with Paul and asks if he's afraid she'll write about him in his book. Guess what happens in Season 3.

In Treatment / int_b707726f	type	Hypocritical Humor
In Treatment / int_b707726f	comment	Hypocritical Humor: Gina's book paints Paul's Expy as childish and unprofessional in the way he lets his patients supersede his family. But such a portrayal of a real person is a rather immature thing for a writer to do, and being a mentor and friend to Paul for such a long time, she should know being his therapist is rather unprofessional itself...

In Treatment / int_cfbd1467	comment	Never Suicide: Alex's death in a fighter jet exercise is ruled an accident by the Navy, but both his father and Paul come to believe that he killed himself. Specifically because he didn't use the ejection seat, despite having previously been established as a near record-breaking escapist from failing planes. It's left ambiguous what actually happened.
