The THERAPY series is unique for its psychological depth, well developed characters and the setting, mostly concentrated in one area. Most of the story takes place in the consulting room of psychologist Marek Posta (Karel Roden) who attends to several patients with a variety of traumas during the weekdays. Every Monday the psychologist receives a saucy Sandra (Tatiana Pauhofová) who confesses in the opening episode that she is in love with Marek. On Tuesday it is the turn of a former soldier returned from Afghanistan (Lukás Hejlík) who reveals his traumas from the war and from being brought up by his father. On Wednesday the psychologist meets a young gymnast, Linda (Michaela Doubravová) whose pretended pubertal self-confidence masks an inner vulnerability. On Thursday he is visited by a married couple (Ana Geislerová and Martin Hofmann) who cannot decide whether they should have an abortion. Every Friday the protagonist visits his older colleague, Dita, to discuss his uncertainties and family problems. Dita is portrayed by the well-known Slovak actress Kamila Magálová. The psychologist's wife, with whom he is going through a family crisis, is played by Klára Melísková. Their teenage daughter, with whom Marek does not have much in common, is played by Berenika Kohoutová.

The prologue to the opening episode takes place on a bench in a park above Prague where a distraught young woman is sitting. She is the first of the patients of psychologist Marek Posta (Karel Roden). Her name is Sandra (Tatiana Pauhofová), she works as a nurse and has been receiving therapy for six months. After she gets over a fit of weeping in the psychologist's consulting room, she tells him about her experience the night before. She had had a tiff with her boyfriend Ondrej and he had given her an ultimatum involving their relationship, and she went with her female friend to a bar where she embarked on a sexual adventure with an unknown man. After she recapitulates the problems with Ondrej, Sandra makes a surprising confession: She has been in love with Marek for some time and longs for their sexual contact. Taken aback, the psychologist explains to her that the dividing line between him and his clients is sacred to him.

The second of the protagonist's patients, Igor Herman (Lukás Hejlík) appears in the consulting room for the first time. The self-confident young man reveals to Marek during the first session that he had had him checked out thoroughly. He discovered that Marek was the best in his profession... Then he tells the therapist the reasons for his visit: He served as a professional soldier in Afghanistan, acting as a forward air controller (FAC). During his last action he guided a bomber to a school where innocent civilians were killed instead of Taliban fighters. After he returned to Bohemia he went out with his dog and ran for so long that he almost collapsed from heart failure. The man longing for perfection recalls in detail how he experienced the critical moments of his clinical death. The psychologist begins to unravel a connection between Igor's Afghani experience and his physical failure.

In the prologue to the third episode the psychologist has a row with his wife over their sixteen-year old daughter. Klára (Berenika Kohoutová) accuses her father of not being interested in her... It is the first session for the fifteen-year old Linda (Michaela Doubravová) who needs from Marek an expert opinion stating that she is mentally healthy. The girl, whose arms are in plaster, has done competitive gymnastics since she was a child. Her injury is the result of a recent accident when she rode her bike under a car. It transpires that Linda may have caused it intentionally which she denies vehemently to Marek. The interview exposes her controversial relationship with her parents. The ambitious girl disdains her mother, a former actress, who disapproves of her sporting activities. She looks up to her father, a distinguished photographer who deserted the family long ago. She sees an unimpeachable authority in her coach Olda...

A married couple, Jana and Michal (Ana Geislerová and Martin Hofmann), come to Marek for a third session and as usual, Jana is late. In the prologue her suspicious husband tries in vain to get her a mobile... She is a former investigative journalist now working as chief editor for a popular tabloid magazine and has a son from her previous marriage. Having spent five years in treatment for infertility she is now pregnant. She is considering an abortion, which she seeks to justify on the grounds that she wants to go back to journalism. Authoritative Michal does not approve of her planned interruption and suspects other reasons behind his wife's stance. He thinks the psychologist should clearly answer the question whether she should have an abortion or not. Marek tries to convince him that to some questions there are no clear-cut answers. He begins to identify the deeper causes of the couple's disharmony.

The fifth episode is set in a place different from the preceding ones and the protagonist's role is completely reversed. Marek visits in an old tenement house his former colleague, Dita (Kamila Magálová) for whom he once worked as assistant and then parted company with her professionally. The widowed psychologist is retired and is writing a study related to her late husband Ivan. Marek recapitulates the cases that he is working on with his clients and intimates some doubts about his own procedures. He complains to Dita about his lack of patience and a loss of the necessary self-confidence. She questions him about his real relationship with Sandra. During the talk, in which their past disagreements re-emerge, he contemplates some more general problems faced by psychotherapists. Marek confesses to her about the disagreements with his daughter and the fact that his marriage is going through a serious crisis.

Another one of Marek's clients is the architecture student Viola (Tereza Vorísková). The conversation begins with Viola telling him the basic facts of her life. She mentions her recent break-up with her boyfriend and her relationship with her older brother, who suffers from schizophrenia. She reveals that she severed contact with a previous therapist, not long ago. Marek wants to know why. Viola, however, talks about her former therapist with nothing but contempt. Marek soon gains Viola's trust and she confides in him something she has kept secret until now: she has cancer, lymphoma in her chest. She hasn't even told her parents.

Marek undergoes a meeting with his wife Alice (Klára Melísková), whom he has recently moved away from. Alice mentions their daughter and their need for a property settlement. Before his evening visit with Dita, Marek happens to run into an old friend, Lenka (Zuzana Bydzovská). In his mentor's apartment, Marek notes that she rearranged the apartment's interior and began speaking in her native Slovak. Dita (Kamila Magálová) asks about his personal life and his relationship with Sandra, which destroyed his marriage. Marek recounts the story of the dead soldier, for which he's under the threat of losing his license and even going to prison. He asks Dita whether she would testify in his favor.

Marek's next patient arrives in a luxury limo driven by a chauffeur. The managing director of a construction company, Charvát (Jirí Ornest) brims with self-confidence and insists on the strict confidentiality of their meetings. He describes sudden bouts of heart-related discomfort. He refuses, however, to consider its link to the media-investigated tragedy during which two people died on one of his company's construction sites. The pragmatic self-made-man recounts his past as a signatory of the Charter 77. He describes his former efforts of a dissident as naive in light of the current reality on the Czech Republic. He reveals to Marek that he considers the source of his difficulties to be his daughter, who is currently living in Berlin.

The beginning of Tána's visit revolves around the case of the dead soldier Igor. The self-assured lawyer warns Marek once again of the possible outcome of the trial and makes clear to him how difficult it is to prove what happened in cases such as this. Then she admits to him that she's having an affair with her colleague from the firm, but that he's refusing to get a divorce. She expresses her desperate desire to have a child and her trauma caused by an abortion she had a long time ago, for which she holds Marek partially responsible. At the end of their meeting, she implores Marek to find her a romantic partner, but Marek refuses her provocative requests.

The Neumann's son is alone with Marek at the beginning of the session, and has time to tell him about his problems. He mentions not being able to sleep well and says his best friend is Pavlínka, a girl he goes to school with. He complains about being bullied by a Vietnamese classmate and talks about his feelings of guilt about his parents' arguments. His parents eventually arrive at the session, and Teodor gives his son a new cell phone. Nina begins to express doubts about the planned divorce, and implores her husband not to leave her. Teodor refuses, and admits to having found someone else.

The seriously ill student Viola recounts her conflict with her ex-boyfriend Tomás. She's angry at him for telling his current girlfriend about her illness. She tells the story of her complicated relationship with Tomás, with whom she recently spent a night, though they didn't have sex. She talks about her older brother David, who suffers from schizophrenia and has an extraordinary gift for intuition. Marek implores Viola to begin seeking medical attention for her cancer. At the end of their meeting, Marek at least convinces her to stay in contact with him.

In the prologue, Marek speaks with his daughter Klára (Berenika Kohoutová) and asks her about her intimate relationships. In the beginning of their session, the businessman Charvát emphasizes the value of money, and has his faithful chauffeur (Matej Hádek) bring him coffee into Marek's office. He denies the possibility of his repeated and sudden sick spells having anything to do with the escalating attacks on his person by the media. He expresses worry about the fate of his daughter Katerina, who is taking part in a Tantric seminar in Berlin. Marek challenges Charvát about his authoritative attitude towards those close to him, and observes that he may not be admitting his feelings of loneliness to himself.

In front of his mentor's house, Marek meets his friend Lenka again. We find out she was his first girlfriend. During his visit to Dita, he mentions the lawyer Tána and the cross-examination he was called to by the police as part of the case of the dead soldier. Ditaraises issue with Marek's feelings of guilt over Igor's tragic end. Then the conversation turns to Marek's mother, who suffered from depression and attempted suicide years go. We learn that Lenka, in fact, played an important role in that fateful night of his mother's suicide, a night which Marek remembers only in fragments.

At the beginning of his meeting with Tána, Marek recounts his cross-examination by the police. The lawyer Tána mentions her relationship with a married man again and reminds Marek of his supposed affair with the nurse Sandra. She thus opens the larger subject of intimacy between therapists and their clients. During their conversation, Tána loses her temper several times and, at the same time, provokes Marek with her seductiveness. She then bitterly complains of her lack of success with men, whom she says she subconsciously drives away. At the end of their conversation, she agrees to go back to therapy with Marek.

In the prologue, Marek says goodbye to his son (Jan Cina), who is leaving for Olomouc to continue his studies. Marek suggests that they organize a family gathering to celebrate his fiftieth birthday. Viktor's mother is the first to arrive at their session, this time. She mentions her Russian origins. She then makes a jealous scene in front of her husband and son over Teodor's new girlfriend. We find out that the Neumanns have had serious sexual problems. Marek brings the angry couple's attention to the fact that Victor is a helpless victim of their unresolved conflicts.

The businessman Charvát arrives at his session straight from the airport - he's just returned from Berlin, from an unplanned visit with his daughter Katerina. He demonstrates to Marek how many phones he has and skeptically describes both his professional and personal relationships. Then he describes his conflict with his daughter: he gets angry concerning her American girlfriend and the fact that his daughter lives in a squat. He describes her living situation and her new alternative look. Marek observes that Charvát must be losing control of his daughter, and that he clearly upset her with his insensitive meddling in her personal life. At the end of the session, Charvát finds out that the board of directors of his company is meeting without him.

Marek meets Lenka at a café, and they talk about that New Year's Day long ago, when Marek's unstable mother attempted suicide. Lenka mentions her own mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease and her twenty-two-year-old son, who has been left handicapped in an accident. During his next visit with Dita, Marek recounts the difficult relationship with his father - a notorious womanizer who abandoned his family. Dita analyzes Marek's problematic emotional state and asks him to make peace with himself.

The architecture student Viola visits Marek's office early in the morning, and brings a model of an atypical building, which she designed for her exams. The young woman, who is afflicted with cancer, has since fallen into deep despair, however, and doubts the quality of her avant-garde model. In a sudden onset of rage, she smashes the impressive model. She recounts an experience she had in Greece long ago, when she almost drowned in shallow water. Marek implores her once again not to wait any longer to begin chemotherapy and to tell her mother about her illness. Viola calls her mother, but her mother is currently at the hairstylist.

Nina arrives at the session on her own, and says that the tense family relationships have taken a turn for the better. She recounts her husband's past and her own dreams of being a translator, which she had to give up after the birth of her son. Marek sheds doubt on Nina's perception of Victor's transformation - Marek thinks that the depressed boy is simply pretending to feel better so that he can please his parents. Then he talks to Victor about his conflict with a Vietnamese classmate and about his mother's abortion. The sensitive boy shows Marek anominous drawing of his family, which expresses his sense of hopelessness.

The self-assured lawyer Tána recounts how she recently celebrated a case she won: she met a stranger at the bar, a younger man, and spent the night with him. Marek perceives Tána's excesses as an absurd need to devalue herself and reveals Tána's relationship with her parents. It becomes clear that the conflicted Tána worships her father, and is unable to criticize him, while she openly devalues her mother. Tána mentions her mother's post-partum depression and her own childhood, which she spent with her grandmother. During this intimate conversation, Tána stops taking the offensive. Marek draws attention to Tána's hidden sense of hopelessness.

During Viola's session, her problematic relationship with her parents and brother come to light. The seriously ill Viola tells Marek about her mother, who was supposed to begin a promising career as a dancer. She admits to feeling both empathy and anger at her schizophrenic brother, who recently disappeared from the hospital he was in. After receiving a call from the police, she wishes to contact her brother David immediately, but she faints with exhaustion in Marek's office. Marek implores her once again to immediately seek help for her illness, and he personally accompanies her to the hospital.
