Seat in Shadow

When Albert, an eccentric, aging painter doubling as an unconventional, Jung-inspired psychotherapist is asked to counsel his friends lethargic grandson Ben, whose ongoing boyfriend problems are rapidly fueling an already deep depression, their subsequent therapy sessions reveal as much about Albert as they do about the troubled young Ben. Seat in Shadow is a witty, perceptive study of social mores, sexual excess and the bizarre, symbiotic relationship between doctor and patient; teacher and pupil; artist and muse.
