Just find her irksome. My favorite patient this season is Sophie.

I agree that it is always wrong. I think a friendship 5 years after therapy ends is wrong, much less a romantic relationship with a patient EVER. I thought his relationship with Mia (patient, then legal counsel, then patient again but one who flirted with him and was not rebuked, IMO, then just patient again)) was inappropriate as well.

Guilty as chargedthough I think that had little to do with it. Previously I had actually discussed this issue with a psychology major at work (also male) and he tried to explain to me the whole issue of transference and why it was wrong etc. So intellectually, I understood the issue.
What I am saying is that somehow during my initial viewing I failed to see just how
seriously flawed
some of Paul's patients (and perhaps Paul himself) were. I am also saying this was NOT the fault of the show, since I can see these flaws clearly now.

Laura and Alex were quite similar characters it's really no surprise that they ended up hooking up. Both were extremely narcissistic and arrogant. But I think Blair Underwood does a much better job of mining the dimensions underneath Alex's facade.

Laura was awesome,
People hating on her must be jealous?
Although she does display some BPD-esq traits, which tend to be loathsome for neurotypicals.
Humans are flawed intrinsically. A non flawed individual wouldn't be in therapy, now would they?
I also think she does a fantastic job at portraying the issue of erotic transference in the therapy room. -

I agree she's by far my least fave character in the first season.
It's not about "jealousy" either lol far from it I think she had a stupid looking mouth, annoying, trying-way-too-hard sounding voice and just does not come across like she's a very nice person in real life either. The world needs a lot less women who are anything like her in any way. They need to just get lost, and definitely get off of tv & movies already.
