Assessment:

Exploring both the severity of mental illness and the nurturing benefits of the doctor-patient relationship, Deitz's impressive novel features protagonist Dr. Jonas Speller, a mental heath professional who has known Victoria Schone Braun for many years. But when they begin to influence each other, the lines between doctor and patient blur. This narrative is fast-paced, emotionally resonant, and reflects the important and life-altering work done on the couches of psychoanalysts. While this is not necessarily an original plot line, Deitz livens up the medical fiction genre with nuanced prose and interior knowledge lending the novel authenticity and depth.

Intensive Therapy: A Novel named to IndieReader top 56 books of 2015

Inrensive Therapoy: A Novel by Jeffrey Deitz was named to IndieReader's list of top 55 independently-published books of the year.

From IndieReader:

The pacing in these scenes is quite intense and believable.  It’s also gratifying to see doctors at work, and doing their best to save a patient under extreme circumstances. Dr. Jonas Speller’s philosophy of life and psychotherapy are exactly what one would hope for from a doctor, caring and hopeful.

INTENSIVE THERAPY: A NOVEL is an excellent read with very good pacing; so much so that at times it’s difficult to put down.

~IndieReader.
