Frédéric Pierrot is still as modest as ever. He resumes, a year after the filming of the first season, the character of Philippe Dayan, an empathetic and attentive psychoanalyst. If he had arrived on the first season during the course, he was completely involved in this new season and its writing.
Series In therapy, available for free on arte.tv or to see Thursday April 7 at 8:55 p.m., takes place this time in times of Covid with new patients played by new actors: “The bodies resonate differently. Suzanne Lindon is anything but frail but gives a fine appearance, the body does not resonate in the same way as that of Jacques Weber who is an imposing character. When he arrives in the cabinet I had a moment shudder: for the first time I had the impression of not being at home.” notes Frédéric Pierrot.

“They tell me the lines in real time, but I do what I want with them and I can improvise. It’s a support that allows you to be absolutely attentive to your partner.” expresses himself Frederic Pierrot.
Frédéric Pierrot knows psychoanalysis well for having practiced it. But impossible to say if he copied the way of doing his own shrink and his listening: “When I asked him the question, he told me even if it was true I wouldn’t tell you.” concludes Frederic Pierrot.
The two seasons of “In therapy” are available on arte.tv.
