Plot

The problems that piled up on Martin Markowitz were getting worse every day. The reign at the weaving factory after the death of his parents also brought a lot of inconvenience.Marty’s sister openly insisted on professional help, but the man consistently refused. After one of the clients was unhappy with the tailoring, Marty could not resist: he hid from the client behind the curtains, and could not fight the panic attack.

The sister was forced to intervene and force her brother to go for help — so the main character fell into a real trap. Getting to know Dr. Isaac Herschkopf was a lifesaver at first. Marty looked at the problems in a different way, realized how easy it was to come to a solution, became more firm about people, learned to refuse, but did not notice the main thing — all these actions were more likely at the suggestion of Isaac, but not his own.

Sensing something was wrong, the sister decided to appeal to her brother to common sense, but he only brushed it off, and later did not want to communicate with her at all. But the relationship with Isaac was more and more trusting. Marty didn’t hesitate to tell him his secrets. Once it went too far, but by that time Isaac had already settled in the house of Markowitz and behaved as if he were the owner, inviting guests and throwing parties.

The series “The Shrink Next Door” details how Marty fell into the addiction of a tyrant doctor who decided to play on the client’s feelings and health. Isaac practically destroyed someone else’s life, wanting to take possession of both the business and the house, and everything that belonged to Markowitz. The harmless psychotherapist turned into an oppressor, lived in pleasure, not noticing the torment of other people.

It took Marty almost 30 years to renew his relationship with his sister, to help himself understand how harmful Herschkopf is on him and to free himself from his influence. But what did it cost him?
