Jeffery Deitz is a psychiatrist who practiced in Connecticut. He has several publications with media outlets like the New York Times, the Huffington Post, and so on. Intensive Therapy is his first book, and with a little under 400 pages, it has won my heart.

Victoria Schoen began therapy with Jonas Speller, and they soon get fond of each other. But the circumstances aren’t right, so they part ways. Several years later, Victoria gets married to Martin, and they have two kids together, but Melinda, the older child, starts having psychological issues and needs a therapist. Victoria is now forced to call Jonas, her therapist from years ago, to help her daughter. But it’s not just Melinda who needs help, and things soon get out of hand. It is now up to Jonas to help Victoria keep her marriage intact, but you’d have to read this book to see how everything turned out.

It’s hard to believe that this is Jeffery Deitz’s first book because of how good it is. He writes straightforwardly, so everything is easy to understand. Even when Jonas talked about medical-related things, I was able to understand and even learn new things because the author used his experience in the field of psychiatry and medicine to simplify the explanation. The storyline was very eventful. The characters were all dynamic and easy to remember. I could relate to Victoria’s frustration with Melinda, and when Melinda threw that figurine at her mother, I was just as surprised and disappointed as Victoria was.

This book has the perfect amount of suspense, and I couldn’t put it down to do anything else because I was eager to turn to the next page. I also enjoyed reading about Jonas Speller. At first, I didn’t think of him as a character I would love, but as I learned more about him, I began to admire him for his strong will and his devotion to his patients and his family. He went out during a snowstorm to help Victoria and Martin when their children were in danger. I didn’t hate anything about this book.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because the author has done a great job putting together the storyline and plot of this book. I also enjoyed reading this book, and I believe it is an exceptionally well-edited book. I recommend this book for adults over the age of 18 who are interested in family drama. Adults who like psychology might also find this book interesting.

It's interesting how two people who parted ways can meet again. I love stories like this, it's wonderful.

[Nkgchidimma080]

Mental health is very important,I hope Victoria and Melinda gets the help they need,nice review

[Edit_or]

I hope the love between Jonas and Victoria do not rekindle while trying to help her with her marriage.

[Elisa Joy Ocasla]

I can sense how fascinated you were with the author’s strategy, and by this, you hooked me to read this book. Thanks for this review!

[Gabriella1997]

Such an intriguing story, I hope Victoria and Melinda gets through all the challenges at the end, nice review.

[Christmas 98]

Really love this ... seeing people who parted ways before and later get together is a thing of joy ...and most importantly mental wellness is very important.. thanks for the review

[Aan Granados]

The storyline is intriguing. I know somebody with mental health issues so this topic is interesting to me. Thanks for your review.

[Mallory Jose]

Wow this sounds like a very interesting plot! I did not think this would be a suspenseful book from the cover. I will definitely check this out!

[Ochieng Omuodo]

I must admit that when I started reading this review I had written off this book, described as having ‘a little under 400 pages’, as a technical area about which I have no interest in reading. It turns out that it is, in fact a story rather than a guide. Phew!

[Brenda Creech]

This book sounds interesting. It must have felt strange to Victoria to send her daughter to Jonas after she had also been his patient years ago! I hope it did Melinda some good to have therapy! Thanks for the great review!

Most likely there is a twist of attachment to first love. I love the review. I would really want to know what caused strain on Victoria’s marriage and how it got resolved

[Milothehippo]

The story to me sounds peaceful somehow as the psychiatrist seems to have a kind way of thinking and reaction. I wonder if my opinion would change after reading this book. Thank you for your review!

[asteel18]

I'm glad I read your review. I probably would have passed on it because I wasn't paying attention to it being a novel. The sample also had me hooked. Thanks for the review!

[Asma Aisha Ansari]

The mix of psychotherapy and mystery/suspense will make for a good read. And, I wonder what caused Melinda to act so violently towards her mother.
Thanks for this informative and succinct review.
