The Good Therapist
An esteemed psychiatrist takes on a local college professor as his patient, only to fall obsessively for the same dominatrix who took over his patient’s life.
Psychiatrist Barak Gaon lives the ideal conservative lifestyle. An expert on powerful addictions, he divides his time between writing up case studies and enjoying his luxurious beach-side vacation home with his large and loving family.
Until one evening, when Barak gets a phone call from a distressed friend urging him to take on an unexpected patient, convinced it will be nothing more than another simple pro-bono case.
Reeling from his recent divorce, college professor Eddie Bloom was looking for a way out of his mundane everyday life when he encountered The Queen—the internet persona of an anonymous and powerfully intelligent dominatrix. What starts out as an exciting new venture quickly becomes an obsessive infatuation as The Queen takes over more and more of Eddie’s personal and professional life—until almost nothing is left of the brilliant professor he once was.
Seeing the opportunity of a lifetime to write about the most dangerous of addictions, Dr. Gaon begins to unravel Bloom’s obsessive anxiety. Then, questions surrounding the identity of the mystery woman arise. As he sinks deeper and deeper into his patient’s broken psyche, Gaon’s burning determination to help Eddie slowly blurs the line between patient and therapist, leading him down a twisted path of obsession that now threatens to consume him…
