Doctor, Doctor: A True Story of Obsession, Addiction, & Psychological Manipulation

2014, Merry Freer

2.7/5

All Susan wanted was a divorce. Instead, she moved from a cushy seat pulled out for her in a civilized domestic attorney’s office to an uncomfortable chair pushed under her in an interrogation room. All she wanted was a taste of passion. Instead, drawn in by two doctors, she exchanged the life of an ordinary suburban housewife for a world of obsession, addiction and psychological manipulation.Doctor, Doctor is the true story of a recently divorced woman who longs for more passion in her life. When Susan meets Mark, a charismatic and charming doctor, she thinks she has found the kind of love she has longed for. But things are not as they appear with Mark, and slowly she becomes aware of the deceptive life he is leading. Seeking counsel and solace in her long time therapist, Dr. J., she encourages Mark to accompany her to her sessions.The three year odyssey begins with intense therapy - appointments orchestrated by Dr. J., a psychiatrist with a personal stake in the couple’s progress. Secrets, lies, and silent pacts draw Susan deeply into Mark’s treatment plan. The shrewd therapist’s unorthodox and manipulative schemes break all the rules, taking Susan into a world of drama, deceit, betrayal, and an excruciatingly close encounter with the law – an encounter that forces her to choose between saving Mark or saving herself.
