I like to see how therapists are portrayed on shows or in the movies. I always wonder if this was the writers experience with a therapist. I like Monk's therapist -- except the time he came back from vacation and just drove by. :) After all, he made a house call!
I've never seen the supranoes, so I can't comment there. I saw a movie on lifetime this week in which the therapist was the one having the affair and she was so distracted from her patients. I didn't like that at all. And all her blouses were totally unbuttoned! Sort of like how they dressed Streisand in Prince of Tides.
Over all I think therapist/Pdocs are most often portrayed as fake, cold, overly-reflective and manipulative who joke in private about their clients. Which is really too bad.
I've been thinking that Babble would make a great TV show. I'll write about one of us and our therapist each episode, so the world can really see what happens. But I can't figure out how to wrap it all up, solve the problem, each time. Need that magic wand again.
