AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Samantha loves Gavin. Gavin thinks he loves Samantha but can't seem to leave the wife he has separated from. Samantha and Gavin decide to move in together only Gavin still has to move out from his wife. What they need is a spot of couple's (and single's) therapy.

'Barnaby Johnson doesn't pretend to have all the answers but he is very good at asking the right questions. His clients confess, accuse, make promises and Barnaby listens the whole day long and then listens some more. What keeps him sane? He loves his job and more importantly he loves other people's problems because then he doesn't have to deal with his own...and the cow jumped over the moon.'
