It's been seven years since we had a peek into Dr. Ruth's therapy sessions. We get to ask 'What's it all about, Alfie' and give out song prescriptions for those pesky issues of love life and work-a-day strife. Beth Halevy, Ceylan Cankurtaran, Evelyn Danner, Leona Zions, Robert Scheible, and of course wise counsel from Dr. Ruth Fuerst while Claudia Hommel, her trusty receptionist, has issues of her own. Bob Moreen will be at the piano. He may be a bit crazy, too.
