God's Therapist

Without warning the world of Arthur Martindale, a successful psychologist implodes. His wife Sandy dies in a tragic accident and his seductive Borderline Personality patient, Katherine Simmons, commits suicide. Martindale identifies the the Biblical Job, asking: "Why me, God?" Martindale's personal problems are compounded when an enigmatic physician requests therapy for depression. Over a half-century ago, Dr. Johannes Van DerKIrk survived the brutal Nazi occupation of his native Holland. But survival has come along with loss of faith in God and humanity. But when Martindale learns that his new patient was Katherine's physician, he becomes suspicious that the physician motive for seeking therapy may be nothing more than a smokescreen for investigating Martindale's possible role in Katherine's suicide. During therapy, Van DerKIrk laments that give the brutal history of the 20th century, even God might be depressed with the state of humanity. To uncover the mystery of Van DerKirk's despair, Martindale proposes they explore the premise by role-playing God on the psychoanalytical couch. Van DerKIrk will play God, and Martidnale will be the therapist--God's Therapist.
