What lousy parents. I've seen this time and time again; one parent thinks "I work all day, so I need space to have fun" and the other says " I'm stuck caring for our kid, so I need space to be alone without my spouse."
My question is, is Paul's mistakes because of shoddy writing from writers who are not therapists, or is Paul's mistakes made so that the writers can create drama in the show?
The point is, We never know how much consultancy from psychologist the show had before writing the whole stuff. Actually, I particularly think that any psychologist or shrink would have treated them separately specially because they have a court case that envolves jurisdiction and not an analyst! I do believe that decisions would have been taken to court and then right after that, treat the boy or maybe the mother. I don't know..I'm just a student but that is what I think
Mother: I'm gonna spoil my child to death with food and lack of discipline, making him fat and stupid. Father: I'm going to make it uncomfortable for my children to be around me cause i'm a big, fat, condescending hypocrite trying to make my child or children like me, which only works until they realize i'm a hypocrite who doesn't know what's best for them. God, it......never......ends
@hal1992 A little of both. If the therapist doesn't make mistakes, it'll be boring. It'll be like "The Snake Pit" without the nuthouse scenes and the flashbacks.
Well, a therapist not making mistakes is not a good therapist, its a therapist that isn't taking any risks, playing safe, following a script, impersonal. We know a large part of the improvement comes from the therapeutic relationship and the less human you are the less of a relationship. Additional, his mistakes seem more related to someone who is used to adults and individual. He is dealing with systems and child psychology, completely different beast especially for psycho dynamic therapy. And I have seen therapist who don't specialize in a population, or have enough training taking them on and fumbling through it.
My guess is the drama factor... cop shows do this all the time, and those of us in law enforcement have long ago learned to ignore it. Even if the cases are real, much of the drama is lost if everything goes smoothly. Certainly about 95% of the police drama would be gone if TV cops were all competent officers who didn't make the mistakes that lead to unnecessary "action." In Treatment is the psychotherapy version of this form of artistic license. Therapists will just have to get used to it.
@figocooldude they are not freed, they are "not convicted". Big diff. Cos in general the legal system has the principle that it's better to free a potential guilty person than to lock up a potential innocent one. It's called burden of proof, cos the legal system is so much more powerful than the individual. This is especially true in almost-police states like the US, Russia, Israel. Take the Skip Gates-Contempt of Cop case: A majority thought that Contempt-of-Cop is justifiable illegal.

Both the parents are messed up but the father is insecure and incapable of understanding and providing what his son needs.
Poor kid

I know I am pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to stream new series online ?
My guess would be: it's to show he's still human with flaws?
My favorite episode. Unbelievable how selfish we can be. By trying to find a quick answer.

@pacnwgrrl Yeah, I mean look at Dexter, almost all murderers are freed by the judge for lack of evidence, so Dexter kills them.
