In the movie "Analyze This," Dr. Ben Sobel, played by Billy Crystal, is a successful psychiatrist who paradoxically struggles with his own personal issues. One day, he inadvertently becomes involved in the life of Paul Vitti, a powerful and feared Mafia boss played by Robert De Niro.

Paul Vitti, despite his ruthless reputation, starts experiencing severe panic attacks that disrupt his daily activities and threaten his position as the leader of the mob. Desperate for help, Vitti seeks therapy from Dr. Sobel. Initially reluctant to treat a mobster, Dr. Sobel eventually agrees, recognizing the opportunity to study such a unique patient.

As the sessions progress, Dr. Sobel finds himself being drawn deeper into Vitti's world, exposed to dangerous situations involving rival mobsters and entangled in the internal politics of the Mafia. Vitti's issues become increasingly complex as he grapples with his own insecurities, fears of a takeover within the mob, and the constant pressure to maintain his tough-guy image.

Meanwhile, Dr. Sobel's personal life is also falling apart as his engagement to his longtime girlfriend is on the rocks due to his preoccupation with Vitti and the subsequent chaos that infiltrates his once-quiet existence. Despite these challenges, Dr. Sobel continues therapy, attempting to uncover the root causes of Vitti's panic attacks and guide him towards emotional stability.

Throughout the film, numerous wiseguy films, such as "The Godfather," are humorously spoofed, highlighting the humorous nature of the movie. As the deadline looms for Vitti to regain control of his emotional state, he and Dr. Sobel form an unlikely bond, learning from each other's vastly different lifestyles and ultimately helping one another find resolutions to their respective issues.

In a climactic finale, Dr. Sobel must confront his own fears and stand up to the threatening figures in Vitti's world in order to protect his patient and salvage the progress made in their therapy sessions. As the film concludes, Dr. Sobel and Vitti have both grown as individuals, with Vitti finally regaining his status as a confident Mafia boss and Dr. Sobel finding the strength to resolve his personal conflicts and recommit to his relationship.
