Last in a series of six programmes penetrating the private and confidential world of a family in therapy, both at home and in the consulting room.

Nine months have now passed since the family commenced their therapy. Sara's troughs of depression, extravagant mood swings and irritatingly immature behaviour had been the motivating force behind the move into counselling in the first place. She has now turned 18 and has become a happy, confident young woman.
Such a radical transformation has made her parents, Jack and Marian, finally realise that she is the most stable of all the family members.
Rather than Sara, it is their marriage which is in need of attention. But, as the therapy draws to a close, they celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary safe in the knowledge that at least now they are equipped to face the future with greater understanding of each other and their two daughters.
