Soprano Psychiatry: I always thought one of the subtexts of The Sopranos is the uselessness of routine psychotherapy, although the point seems to be lost on a lot of psychiatrists. Now David Chase confirms it:


CHASE: ....... I wanted to present therapy scenes as they are. Because a lot of therapy — let's face it — is [expletive].

HEFFERNAN: Therapists love this show, though.

CHASE: They understand a lot of it's [expletive]. I'm sure they know that most of what we, as patients, present is filler.

Well, some of them came pretty close to realizing it last season, but never really embraced the idea. Jokes on them.
