Summaries

Dr. Kurtzman's therapies use his unorthodox methods and eccentric personality to create an atmosphere where his "patients" will trade their predictable ready-made answers and persona for cathartic laughter.

Therapy sessions televised on Socratic format. This is the proposal of the talk show led by Facundo Kurtzman, writer, philosopher and Argentinian therapist graduated from Sorbonne University in France. Combining drama and a psychological approach, the program consists of interviews through unorthodox methods and his eccentric personality. Dr. Kurtzman creates an atmosphere where his "patients" will abandon the predictable ready-made answers and in each episode the therapy is reinvented through their reactions.—Daniel Lobo

Weekly, eccentric Argentinian-Jewish psychotherapist Dr. Kurtzman sees patients willing to try his method: celebrities from various work fields. With a crew of incompetent film students, Kurtzman televises the sessions as his research, revealing his unconventional procedures to the audience.—Matheus Parizi
