Mr. Monk Gets A New Shrink - Continuity

Continuity

  • The events of this episode, and Dr. Jonah Sorenson, are mentioned in passing in the novel Mr. Monk Goes to Germany. First, Dr. Kroger mentions Dr. Sorenson's name to Monk on their last appointment before he leaves for Germany. Later, when Dr. Kroger confronts Natalie about helping Monk stalk him to Lohr, she defends herself by claiming that Monk was going to fall completely apart without him and would never see a psychiatrist who was missing an arm, suggesting that her actions probably were influenced by the events depicted in "Mr. Monk Gets a New Shrink."
  • This episode marks the first appearance of Harold Krenshaw since season 3's "Mr. Monk and the Election". Subsequently, Harold made appearances in the episodes "Mr. Monk and the Daredevil," "Mr. Monk's 100th Case", "Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized", "Mr. Monk Fights City Hall", "Mr. Monk Is Someone Else," and "Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy".
  • Dr. Kroger was said in "Mr. Monk and the Election" to have a daughter as well. Here, however, Troy is shown as an only child.

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:

    “Every society consists of men in the process of developing from children into parents. To assure continuity of tradition, society must early prepare for parenthood in its children; and it must take care of the unavoidable remnants of infantility in its adults. This is a large order, especially since a society needs many beings who can follow, a few who can lead, and some who can do both, alternately or in different areas of life.”
    —Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)

    “If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.”
    —Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    “The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
