 This upsets his son and puts strain on his marriage.After an incident at their cottage in which Strieber is so convinced that there are alien beings inside the home that he pulls his gun out and almost shoots his wife, and signs that his son is beginning to have the same visions, he is finally convinced to see a psychiatrist specialising in hypnotic regression therapy (Sternhagen).The therapy confirms that he has possibly been abducted by unknown beings and experiments have been performed on him, however he is still skeptical about it and reluctantly attends a group therapy session of fellow 'abductees'.
