Episode 40: Ethics of The Shrink Next Door
When Bloomberg (and ex New York Times) Journalist, Joe Nocera, realized that his Hampton's neighbor, Ike, had suddenly moved, he knew things were off. However, there was no way he could prepare himself for the story he was about to uncover. The man that Joe thought was his neighbor's maintenance man, Marty, actually turned out to be the owner of the property, and Ike, had been Marty's Psychiatrist for 30 years.
This week we look into the ethical violations that Ike had to betray to find himself in almost complete control of Marty's life -- We look at this through Ryan's eyes, as a Therapist, and wonder where he thinks this relationship got off the rails. We also look at this through Mike perspective as a patient, who seems to understand Marty's gullibility in The Shrink Next Door

Episode Diagnosis
Ryan:
0 of 5 Hamptons -- While this is a true story that actually happened to someone, the sheer magnitude of the situation and the unlikeliness that this would happen, this way again, warrants the low rating.
Mike:
5 of 5 Familias -- Joe Nocera provides an excellent narrative for this riveting tale, but it's the audio producer that puts this on top as a 5.
