Sanity (2016)
- Drama
Directed by: Cecilia Albertini, Merlin Camozzi, Candice Nachman
Written by: Patrick Hurley, Arthur Panoyan, Aszue Wilson
SANITY follows five graduate MFT student therapists in a UCLA university counseling clinic and the unusual patients they take on while managing their own intense interpersonal relationships. The clinic is run by the brilliant Dr. Mann who has hand-picked these five psych students for their unique gifts. But to Dr. Mann, there is no God--only the DSM. Here in the clinic, the students' behavior is called out, analyzed, and poked fun at, as it creates conflicts with patients, advisors and each other. In short, this show is about a small group of student trainees who try (and sometimes fail) to set aside their own problems in order to help others with theirs. Their patients' struggles in some way highlight their own struggles, which point the psych students toward a new, deeper understanding of themselves.
