Former ‘Family Ties‘ member Justine Bateman will visit the impossibly attractive doctors of Oceanside Wellness when ‘Private Practice‘ returns this fall, Fancast has learned.

In the second episode of the ABC drama’s fourth season, Bateman will guest-star as the single mother of a child diagnosed with autism. Mom has managed her son’s condition fine thus far, but new developments prompt her to seek out Oceanside’s expertise.

Bateman’s recent-ish TV credits include guest-star turns on ‘Psych,’ ‘Californication,’ ‘Desperate Housewives’ and an extended run on ‘Men In Trees.’

Los Angeles, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Actress Justine Bateman has signed on for a guest role in an upcoming episode of the U.S. medical drama series "Private Practice," ABC said. Bateman is best known for her work on TV's "Family Ties" and "Men in Trees," and in the movie "Satisfaction." She is the sister of actor Jason Bateman.

"Violet and Cooper make amendments to their friendship in order to please their significant others; Pete and Cooper get in an argument involving marijuana use by a patient (Bateman); Addison is conflicted about going public with her new romance, and Sheldon's decision to deny approval for a patient's sex change backfires," the network said in a synopsis of the show's Sept. 30 episode.

"Private Practice" stars Kate Walsh as Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery, Tim Daly as Dr. Pete Wilder, Paul Adelstein as Dr. Cooper Freedman, Brian Benben as Dr. Sheldon Wallace and Amy Brenneman as Dr. Violet Turner.

The very little I've seen of Private Practice I found unbearably horrible to watch, and I doubt I could tolerate watching an entire episode of it, even with Justine Bateman in it (unfortunately)...
