At first, Hélène is encouraged by Devilers' apparent success with his other patients but soon becomes concerned when one of her fellow patients commits suicide.

What tempted Delon? - Shock Treatment review by CP Customer
Blowing up what could have been a substandard 40 minute TV episode of the X Files to feature length is quite an achievement. What it was that Delon & Girardot saw in this plot- apart from an opportunity to swim naked- that attracted them goodness knows. At least it's not very long & the scenery is nice. The rest of it is unbelievable- to say the least.
