The Good Psychologist has a regular 4 o'clock appointment with an exotic dancer who has lost her nerve to strip. Soon, he discovers she is even more distraught over losing access to her daughter. Meanwhile, over at the college where he teaches a class on the principles of therapy, the Good Psychologist, a measured man, warns against rushing at clients with salves and solutions. One must, he insists, preserve an optimum clinical distance, always aware that the unshakable conviction that disaster is approaching has become the real disaster in the lives of the anxious.
But take a closer look at the Good Psychologist. Who is that waving to him seductively from his past? What's beckoning him to rekindle extinguished hopes for the future? As the shell of his detachment begins to crack, he finds himself pulled where the boundaries between professional and personal are dangerously blurring.
With a distinctive voice of huge appeal even to those uninterested in psychology, and pulsing with humor and humanity, The Good Psychologist enters the volatile terrain of the human heart: to move or be still; to defy or to obey; to let go or hold on.
