Headline~ A TWISTED FAMILY THERAPIST WITH A MURDEROUS PAST DRIVES A YOUNG COUPLE TO THE EDGE OF SELF- DESTRUCTION, IN "MIND GAMES," AIRING AS "THE ABC SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE," APRIL 19
From~ Ultimate TV (TV News and Ratings)
"Do you believe in evil? That some people are just born that way?"
A twisted family therapist with a murderous past uses a troubled child as a tool to manipulate a young couple to the edge of self-destruction, in "Mind Games," a psychological thriller making its premiere on the ABC Television Network's "The ABC Sunday NIght Movie," APRIL 19 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET).
Jayne Brook ("Chicago Hope") and Kyle Secor ("Homicide") are the couple who place their marriage -- and perhaps their lives -- at the mercy of the psychotherapist played by Lindsay Frost ("High Incident"), a therapist who thinks the serpent in the Garden was a hero.
Hannah and Doug Berrick (Brook and Secor) are a two-career family with a few problems, the most dramatic of which is a son's erratic behavior. Unfortunately, they will soon learn that Karen Sorenson (Frost), their new family therapist, is not so interested in helping the boy as she is in peeling away the family's protective covering; brutally exposing carefully kept secrets; seducing Doug and, along the way, destroying Hannah.
ALSO IN THE CAST: William Greenblatt as Luke Berrick, Hayley Lochner as Amy Berrick, Mamie McPhail as Cora, Mark Wilson as Ben, Michael Tomlinson as Dr. Ryan, Janet Bailey as Wanda, Gordon Michael Woolvett as Karen's young victim, Peter MacNeill as Wexford, Stephanie Morgenstern as Anna.
Jan Egleson directed "Mind Games" for Saraband Productions. The executive producers are David Manson -- who is also the executive producer of the critically acclaimed "Nothing Sacred" -- and Arla Sorkin Manson. The producer is Meredith Zamsky. The film was written by Arla Sorkin Manson and Paula Milne. (CLOSED-CAPTIONED) (Broadcast in stereo where available).

About~ Jayne's movie "Into My Heart"
Release Date~ May 2000 starting in New York
By~ Kulturinfo (Switzerland) and Kinoprogramm (Germany)
"Into My Heart" begins with a suicide but ends in redemption.
While the present-day action concentrates on the immediate, emotional fall-out of a devastating death, these scenes are interspersed with a series of flashbacks that explain and re-inforce the relationships unfolding on-screen.
In "Into My Heart", the past is as important as the present. It's a story about loss and survival, about old relationships and buried emotions.
Adam (Jake Weber) and Ben (Rob Morrow) are childhood friends. The sons of East Coast affluence, they attend boarding school and Columbia together. At Columbia, the idealistic Adam meets the love of his life, Nina (Claire Forlani), a beautiful young woman from the same social milieu. Their love is instantaneous and passionate. After some initial resistance, Ben accepts the addition of Nina and the two become fast friends, linked by their love for the quirky, intense Adam.
