Join us in celebrating the start of the second season of "In Treatment," learning about "Be-Tipul" and its meaning for Israeli television and society, exploring the challenges of marketing Israeli television in Hollywood and of transposing "Be-Tipul" to "In Treatment" for an American audience, and uncovering what "In Treatment" and "Be-Tipul" might teach us about psychotherapy and its depiction in popular culture.
