After his wife left him that morning, Psychotherapist Dr. Sidney Kaplan is in personal crisis mode. His first session of the day starts with Rose Berman threatening to kill him with a glass vase. Not an unusual entrance for Rose who is in therapy as an excuse to get out of the house away from her mother. "I'm depressed," she says. He says, "You seem very up today. You tried to kill me. If you were depressed, you'd try to kill yourself.” Then off they go to explore her latest dreams. His methods are considered unorthodox but in his opinion, it is readily doled out drug prescriptions that are the extreme. But despite his success with his clients, can the doctor heal himself?
