Synopsis
'None of us has escaped the injuries and indignities of growing up; all of us bear the scars of that process…' Joe says we can turn our psychic pathologies into something beautiful through psychotherapy. Then he describes why people are turning to psychotherapy by phone: it avoids the burden of traveling, removes the distractions of the office, other patients, the psychotherapists' quirks…
6:20: He calls 'tele-counsel of Los Angeles' (apparently fictional), gets a humorous phone message, apparently chooses '9', for depression, gets a recorded message from Dr Jerome Nierenberg (sp?), who's busy.
8:10: A woman (Laura Esterman?) tells a story about a dream. She's in a room with a bunch of men who talk about politics. She tells them it's really about a cow thrown over a cliff, which represents the way men treat women. John (this is a group therapy session) says that he's unsympathetic, that women have all power. A second guy (Larry Block) sees both of their points of view. The therapist asks another woman, Stella, what she thinks. Others participate.
19:20: Joe talks about audio Rorschach tests, plays some audio clips for us to react to.
21:20: Donald (Eliot Wilder) tells Joe he's obsessed with this woman. Joe asks Donald questions about her.
