In Treatment - HBO's View Of Life On The Couch

Starting tomorrow January 28th, HBO will launch its new series In Treatment.   Gabriel Byrne will portray a psychotherapist who is in therapy himself (aren't they all?). The show will air half-hour episodes five times a week for nine weeks.   

Each night of the week will focus on a different patient for the duration of the series. One patient's story will always air on Mondays, another on Tuesdays, and so on. There's an adolescent, a woman, a man and a couple. Then Byrne's character takes the couch with his own therapist (Dianne Wiest). The other stars include Melissa George, Blair Underwood, Mia Wasikowska, Josh Charles, and Embeth Davidtz.

This series could be an adventure into our psyche. It could help you decide whether or not therapy is for you.  In Treatment is written by Mark Wahlberg who wrote and produced Big Love and Six Feet Under. With all the networks showing so many reruns HBO's timing is perfect.
