Parents need to know that since this adult-oriented drama centers on therapists, their personal relationships, and their clients, much of the material relates to relationship struggles, personal crises, and mental health problems. Scenes include emotional break-ups, reconciliations, and conflicts. Sex scenes include some enthusiastic sounds and images of characters partially undressed (but no nudity). Relationships between colleagues sometimes tread into sexual or romantic territory and are sometimes extramarital. There are discussions of pedophilia and sexual abuse, including rape. Adults curse frequently (though, since this is regular cable, the strongest words are generally along the lines of "bitch" and "ass") and occasionally drink socially.

Families can talk about how media depicts therapy. Based on TV shows and movies, what kind of person would you expect to go to therapy? To be a therapist? How accurate do you think that mental picture is? Does this show give you a different view of therapists? What are family members' opinions about therapy and its usefulness?
