Dr. Joanna Bereza, a passionate intern, challenges Dr. Myron Eisenstadt, the chief psychiatrist, on his aggressive use of shock treatment. He accuses her of becoming too emotionally involved with the care of an old woman who's been shocked too many times and a young mother who stopped talking after giving birth.
What's also at stake is her marriage. Obsessed with her work, Joanna is blind to problems at home. It doesn't help that one of the other interns has more than a professional interest in her and looks more like a hip musician than an aspiring shrink.

Shadowing Joanna's work is her own unresolved grief over something that happened when she was a child.

The Rubber Fence was inspired by the author's experience as a family therapist on a psychiatric ward.
