The Shrink Is In is a 2001 American comedy film directed by Richard Benjamin, and starring Courteney Cox and David Arquette.
Samantha is a travel journalist who is still recovering from the break-up with her last boyfriend, when her psychiatrist, Dr. Louise Rosenberg, suffers a nervous breakdown. While Samantha is canceling her appointments, her new neighbor, Michael, comes for a session. Having never met the real Dr. Rosenberg, she poses as her shrink in an attempt to steer him away from his girlfriend and towards her. Because of her new situation, Samantha ends up seeing a few of Dr. Rosenberg's other patients, including eccentric magazine salesman Henry. This leads her to question her life, including whether her "perfect man" is actually what she truly desires after all.
