Psychoanalyst May Start Date Service - Sun Sep 8, 2:49 PM ET By DAVID CRARY, AP National Writer

Undeterred by the qualms of many experts, a New York psychoanalyst is trying to create a dating service in which men and women would be matched up by people who know them intimately — their therapists.

The service, which is signing up clients but not yet pairing them, is open only to people undergoing psychotherapy. In contrast to standard, self-composed dating pitches — "great sense of humor, loves the outdoors" — clients of TheraDate will be assessed on such factors as obsessiveness, defense mechanisms and nervous tics.
