Cruise Program: Talk Show Format

Oprah Winfrey, David Letterman, Jay Leno, and such all provide entertainment focused on personalities. Now you can provide equally absorbing and entertaining time for your guests when you schedule an "Ask the Shrink" program or "What I've always wanted to know, but was to afraid to ask... " at home.

In a talk show format, Dr. Rappaport will informally - with gentleness, caring, and a sense of humor - provide helpful answers to the audience's questions and problems, just like the network shows. As a form of enlightenment and entertainment, the audience will participate and interact so that all will have fun and a thought-provoking time.  Lecture options:
