Dr. Phil

Did anyone see the Dr. Phil show earlier in the week where he had a girl with Multiple Personality Disorder??? I missed the end and wondered if he gave her any help and did he think she was authentic. I thought she was.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrGOgPKPZM8&index=2&list=PLy30Zx48OYQ-WUmPmDgXbCn1av_0K9kVk I did not see the whole show. I saw the last half. The above video is part of what I watched. It is sad. I think it is real. Yes, he is helping her. He told her she needs to keep do what she is doing. That he is going to get her help to heal the trama and intigration could occur naturally from that.

I can't stomach his show. He's one of the highest paid people on TV yet hawks, like a carnival barker, Robin's (his wife) skin care line. It gives him zero credibility with me. The two of them come across as greedy pigs feeding at the trough - oink, oink.

And yet apparently you watch the show because you can describe what happens on the show.

@Scooby Doo, I've seen the end of the show 5 or 6 times and have seen him yammering on about Robin's skin care line. So your "assumptions" are 100% incorrect. In addition, Google is our friend and there are plenty of posts backing up what I have seen. I stand by my post.

Robin made 1 attempt to sell her products on HSN, and it was embarrassing to eat h her, so noe he pitches her stuff. I agree I hate that, plus he always brags about hos so Jay owning a publishing co., but fails to mention that he only publishes his dad's books. I used to like him, but no more.

@Its Me LuLuBelle2 I agree. I can’t even stand the sight of him.

I used to watch the show....he would discuss interesting topics that would benefit a lot of people....However, as time went on his guests became more and more outrageous (in the hopes of grabbing attention and ratings, perhaps?) so I just stopped watching his show! .......His show now is more like Jerry Springer becomes a psychiatrist!! (and no I have NEVER, EVER watched a Springer show, but I learned all I needed to know from just the commercials for the show......

I cannot watch more than 30 seconds of him. With a background in psychology, I can tell you that he breaks every rule of counseling. Years of research and experience mean nothing to him. He just goes for the outrageous, that which garners attention. I doubt that he has helped many people.

I still watch on occasion, I find him less offensive than other day time talent.

Long before Dr. Phil was a twinkle in Oprah's eye Sally Jesse Raphael had a show featuring a married couple who later found out that they were brother and sister.

Years after Dr. Phil had his own show that same couple was on; and Dr. Phil presented them as just finding out that they were brother and sister; they were "seeking advice" on how to handle the situation.

We are talking YEARS from Sally's show to Dr. Phil's own show.

So no, I don't believe that every situation on Dr. Phil is legit; and those that are, such as the exploitation of Shelley Duval, are a disgrace.

But hey-all is right with the world-people can get psychological advice by watching Dr. Phil and medical advice from Dr. Oz.

Who needs anyone else? *eyeroll*

I do not watch Dr Phil. I think he is in this for the money and the sensationalism. I have watched him a couple of times in years gone by, so I know about him.

However, I did watch the link that a poster had put up. I don't know if this woman is for real, just a good actress or a poor woman who is being used and led on by Dr Phil.............

@mwmc I watched that video. This poor woman had obviously got severe mental illness and for him to bring her on television and cause her trauma to benefit him & his show is disgusting!
