In Treatment is an American HBO drama, produced and developed by Rodrigo Garcia, about a psychotherapist, 50-something Paul Weston, and his weekly sessions with patients, as well as those with his own therapist (shrink) at the end of the week. The program, which stars Gabriel Byrne as Paul, debuted on January 28, 2008, as a five-night-a-week series. The program's format, script and opening theme are based on, and are often verbatim translations of the Israeli series BeTipul (Hebrew: בטיפול), created by Hagai Levi, Ori Sivan and Nir Bergman.
In each of the seasons, Paul has one-hour weekly sessions with each character: Mondays with Laura, Tuesdays with Alex, Wednsdays with Amy & Jake and Thursdays with Sophie. Every Friday he visits his own therapist, Gina, as he also needs some help. The chapters are only half an hour long.
