	Dr. Jennifer Melfi \| Sopranos Cast and Characters \| Sopranos.com
		Melfi has her share of daily living to cope with, but one day when she came face to face with Tony Soprano, the boss of the mob, more was placed on her plate than she was able to deal with.
		Melfi is afraid of Tony and not just because of his job title, but because on several occasions she really thought that he would do her some physical harm.
		Still, she is a little bit glad that she knows him, because with the fact that her rapist was able to escape justice, if she asks Tony to “take care of the rapist” he would be able to do so.

	Lorraine Bracco: Jennifer Melfi
		Jennifer Melfi who treats New Jersey Mafia heavyweight Tony Soprano on HBO's hit series, THE SOPRANOS.
		During the audition process for The Sopranos, Bracco had originally vied for the lead female role of Carmela Soprano, but turned it down fearing the part was too similar to her role as the mob-wife in Goodfellas and that the role of mob-psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Melfi would be a new and bigger challenge for her.
		Lorraine Bracco could have used the therapeutic help of Jennifer Melfi, the psychiatrist she portrays on HBO's The Sopranos, long before she was cast in the acclaimed Mob drama.

		Meadow, busy with one of Jennifer's breasts, twisting and pulling the nipple as the fingers of her other hamd were deeply buried in the soft flesh, twisting the entire breast the opposite way from that which the 'nipple hand' was twisting Jennifer's swollen nipple.
		Jennifer was shrieking from all this attention that her cunt and breasts were getting from the two mafia bitches, then Meadow screamed with excitement when a stream erupted from the nipple and dribbled down her own breast while Jennifer shrieked at Carmela's activity down in her crotch, her breast spurtings hardly noticed!
		Jennifer was also quite enamored with those sexy, long, jutting cucumber-shaped mammaries and would nearly lose control when she had them in her tight grip, the blonde Carmela shrieking in fear that they would be damaged beyond repair.

	The Sopranos: Season 4 Analyzed; Week 7 By Glen Gabbard, Margaret Crastnopol, Philip A. Ringstrom, Joel Whitebook, ...
		Melfi reiterates one of the fundamental principles of talk therapy: You can get as angry as you want, but it can't pass over into "physicality." Her use of the stilted term is, of course, somewhat typical of Jennifer, but I think it is also an indication of how uncomfortable she was feeling.
		Jennifer's still not in the mood to be masochistic under the guise of therapeutic neutrality.
		Jennifer makes it safe for Tony to examine his rage in a more controlled, safer environment, one in which the therapist does not become defensively enraged herself.

	The Greening of Tony Soprano (Promo) Jeremiah Creedon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Four years and 52 episodes later, Dr. Jennifer Melfi has dredged up all there is to know about her thuggish but complicated client, his wife and kids, and his dealings in what he likes to call “waste management.” The only mystery left is what’s ailing him.
		Melfi’s real-life peers have called her sessions with Tony the best portrayal of psychotherapy ever seen in the popular media, and the show has apparently led a lot of men to try it.
		When they bring up Melfi’s failure to get at the root of Tony’s problems, they blame everything from her short skirts to her various missteps (which nicely complicate the story) to the chance that her client is a psychopath who can’t be cured.

		And that, says Lorraine Bracco -- the actress who plays Dr. Melfi on the HBO hit series -- is the best part she could have asked for.
		The draw, says the actress, is the prickly relationship between Dr. Melfi and her tough patient.
		In reality, Dr. Melfi's Tufts Medical School diploma is just a prop that hangs on the wall of the Soprano's New York-based set -- which is no different from the doctor herself, who exists entirely in the minds of Bracco, the show's writers and its loyal fan base.

		But when Dr. Melfi took on the task of helping Tony with his problems, she unwittingly let herself in for some monumental woes of her own.
		When the rapist was freed on a technicality, Melfi confessed to Kupferberg that it made her feel better knowing that Tony would "squash" her attacker "like a bug" if she wanted it.

		That brings us to Jennifer Melfi, the therapist who loses her cool long enough to snap at Tony, "How many more people have to die for your personal growth?" Dr.
		Melfi doesn't have much screen time in the first few episodes of the new year; the Sopranos writers are concerned enough with plausibility not to put her right back into a session with Tony after he lunged at her for suggesting that Livia is the devil incarnate.

	Four shrinks on the season finale of The Sopranos. Margaret Crastnopol (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For example one colleague told me recently that although she does not watch the show, she was surprised by the upbraiding she received from a female patient who discovered that at the end of her day, this analyst walked down an isolated stairwell to her parking garage.
		When she inquired about her patient's fury at her, the patient screamed, "That's where Dr. Melfi was raped!" So, if indeed Melfi is some sort of icon, it is with some gratitude that we must acknowledge how much she has changed; that is, how much she has grown in her work with Tony Soprano.
		During the first season Jennifer's grandiosity blinded her from seeing that the treatment she was offering Tony was essentially impossible due to the nature of his "business," a point that he repeatedly kept asserting.

		Jennifer Melfi puts it together; worried that Tony's life is in danger, she breaks the therapeutic rule that patients must make their own discoveries and confronts him with her knowledge.
		Jennifer encourages him to feel the sadness under the rage, but what comes through is hard and bleak.
		Tony gives Jennifer "gifts" like stealing her car and getting it fixed; it's his way of assuring her, and himself, that his power is benevolent, but of course she only feels violated.
