The Schopenhauer Cure

Suddenly confronted with his own mortality, eminent psychotherapist Julius Hertzfeld is forced to reexamine his life and work. He seeks out Philip Slate, a sex addict whom he failed to help some twenty years earlier. Yet Philip claims to be cured-miraculously transformed by the pessimistic teachings of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer-and is, himself, a philosophical counselor in training. Julius invites Philip to join his intensive therapy group. But with mere months left to live, time may be far too short to help Philip. And then again, it might be just long enough.
