I've been a Psychologist for some years now and I can't watch this show unless I pause it frequently. It makes me that mad. The main character breaks every rule of Psychotherapy and plays with her client's lives for her own benefit. This show sure made me curse a lot.
The girl jean falls in love with has clear Borderline Personality Disorder traits. Every Psychotherapist knows how dangerous it would be to get romantically involved with somewone with BPD. A Psychotherapist would KNOW what that person would become and how life with such a person would be. Still, Jean plays with the girl's emotion while the latter is in the Ideation phase of BPD. Which is very, VERY cruel and irresponsible. Involving herself in the client's lives is also a big "No-No" in CBT.
Basiscally everything Jean does as a Therapist is wrong. The show does depict Narcissistic traits and Borderline Personality Disorder accurately. Jean's acting is good. She made me very angry and it's rare that a fictional character is able to do that to me.
