In Treatment-Complete Season 1 (Region 1 Import DVD)

This unconventional TV series follows a therapist, Paul (Gabriel Byrne), whose patients are steadily becoming more than he can handle. Each have dark secrets, hidden traumas, and violent battles raging within themselves. Among them are Laura (Melissa George), who has gradually fallen in love with Paul; Alex (Blair Underwood), an Iraq veteran reexamining his life; Sophie (Mia Wasikowska), a suicidal teenager; and Jake and Amy (Josh Charles and Embeth Davidtz), a couple with scores of problems lurking beneath the surface. This first season finds Paul returning to therapy himself, with an old colleague, Gina (Dianne Wiest), helping him come to terms with his mounting professional dilemmas. Like a series of one act plays, each of show's dialogue-heavy episodes take place almost entirely within the confines of Paul's office. During its original broadcast schedule, each patient "was seen" on a different night, five nights a week, offering viewer's a unique experience for following their development. This collection presents the drama's complete first season.
