Although she has always considered psychotherapy a fraud, a scam designed for weaklings and people who like to whine about everything and anything, Lorna, at the urging of her sister Louise and best friend Katy, decides, albeit with trepidation, to embark on a year-long psychotherapy process with the icy Dr. J....
