Description


Veteran journalist Joe Nocera’s neighbor in the Hamptons was a therapist named Ike. Ike counted celebrities and Manhattan elites as his patients. He’d host star-studded parties at his eccentric vacation house. But one summer, Joe discovered that Ike was gone and everything he’d thought he’d known about his neighbor -- and the house next door -- was wrong. From Wondery, the company behind Dirty John and Dr. Death, and Bloomberg, “The Shrink Next Door” is a story about power, control and turning to the wrong person for help for three decades. Written and hosted by Joe Nocera, a columnist for Bloomberg.

I just finished listening to 'The Shrink Next Door,' and I’m truly impressed by the depth and complexity of the storytelling. The way the podcast dives into the nuances of the relationship between the therapist and the patient is both compelling and eye-opening. The detailed investigation and thoughtful analysis keep you hooked from start to finish. https://custom-packaging-florida.podigee.io/1-new-episode

I know this episode really is not about the forgiveness kool-aid that is pushed on people who survive abuse and neglect. but it is uncomfortable listening to this woman saying she should have been persuaded to forgive her monster of a mother. you can make significant peace with a horrible human being, without the total self sacrificing compliance of "forgiveness", and I wish someone would have told her this. I wish someone would have told her that when a horrible person is dying, it may be the best possible thing to see them -- or it may be a painful horrible decision. but there is only one opportunity and the outcome is forever.

Great podcast! Wonderfully told. It's amazing how so many people were affected by Ike, and yet it's taken so long for it to reach this point. It's also disgusting how it took public attention of a podcast for the medical board to even investigate! One can only wonder of the lies and manipulation Ike inflicated on his family, for them to think the whole situation was normal!

Marty is the type of person cults,cons & scammers look for.Their radar screams from a mile away when they find these ppl,ripe for the taking. I wouldn't believe one word this skrink says. ofc he"s going to lie about his own involvement in this net of bull he scooped Marty in. Ike"s ego is EVERYTHING to him.If anyone knew what a creep he was it would be over. I hope to God Ike goes to jail. What on earth did Ike's wife think of this crap?

But I don't think there is enough checks and balances in the world of therapy to prevent future Ikes.

so I feel like this is turning into family drama/ soap opera rather than explaining what the psychiatrist did. like...we've really only heard about him a few times this far. this is very weird storytelling. not super impressed this far.

It’s always helpful to have an office locksmith in Denver who is available when you need them. Whether you need to install a safe, change locks on some doors, gain access to areas you’ve been cut off from, or you have other needs, we’ll make sure that you don’t have to worry about security in your office. We’ll make sure that we meet all of your needs for an office locksmith in Denver so you can focus on your job instead of on whether or not things are protected as they should be.

There is something very odd about Marty's account of things. This whole thing is hard to believe, but that just speaks to how terribly Ike exploited this clearly vulnerable person. I just really find Marty's narration a little lacking in insight and reflection... I wonder how he excelled in business and generally in his professional life if he were so eager for any supportive word from virtually anyone. But it's only episode 3!

I really enjoyed this podcast! I'm glad Marty was able to recover and reconnect with his family. I felt so bad for the women whose mother died 😔
