Latest: Actress Tatum O'Neal will "pull through" her recent drug troubles, according to director Peter Bogdanovich.

The Oscar-winning former child star - who chronicled her recovery from a heroin addiction in her 2004 book A Paper Life - was spotted by a narcotics team exchanging money with a man three blocks from her home in the Big Apple earlier this week (begs02Jun08).

The 44-tear-old was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanour.

But Bogdanovich - who directed her in her Oscar winning turn in Paper Moon - is adamant she will bounce back.

He tells People.com, "She said she was clean and happy to be doing the show (Rescue Me).

"She's a strong woman and has been through a lot. She's a good girl. She's had some tough breaks."

"I'm sure she can (recover). She has a strong spirituality. She should pull out of it."

But TV’s fascination with the therapist’s couch is nothing new. Here’s a highly subjective look at a few of the fictional tube shrinks — past and present — who have captured my imagination.

Dr. Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco) of HBO’s “The Sopranos” (1999-2007)

Nobody knew more about New Jersey’s top mobster, Tony Soprano (except perhaps the FBI agents who kept tabs on him). But toward the end of the series,  she began to wonder how much she’d helped the mobster, who first visited  after suffering a panic attack.
