    ^ You know, maybe I shouldn't say hate, cause I obviously watch it sometimes. Its sort of like my hate of Tyra Banks. I watch her BECAUSE I hate her.

    I've read a few of his books..and I really enjoy them. I like his no bullshit attitude.
    One of his books said somethign like,
    " If your fat, it's yru own fault your fat. If your lazy, it your own fault you won't get off you ass. Stop blaming everyone else and take responsibility for you life. You'll never be able to change and better yourself as long as you try to blame others"

    I really like that no bullshit, don't sugar coat.He just laid it out.

    The only thing Dr Phill has said that I didn't agree with was when he was doing the Dr Phil House with the couples and he trashed on the one wife for being a Stripper.....not cool. Other than that I like watching him.

    He panders. It's TV, what do you expect? It's all about ratings. I've seen a few segments lately where I think he's just another Jerry Springer or Maury Povich with a better set, a better time slot and a higher-class audience. He's getting way too preachy for my taste.

    I don't know if I hate him, but I do agree he panders to the TV and ratings, and that can be a conflict of interest. I guess the one thing that really bothers me about him though is he relies heavily on using intellect to address long standing emotional problems. While that can have impact over the short-term, my experience is that long standing emotional issues take time, often a lot of it, to truly address and heal. It's often just not as simple as calling everyone out and laying the cards on the table.

    What I hate is the fact that he leans so heavily on his title of "DR."

    Honorary doctorates do NOT a true doctor make.

    he's using a family therapy theory called the bowenian approach. the idea behind this theory is that emotional reactivity does not benefit the creation of change in behavior; that instead one needs to use intellect to solve problems instead. this theory and technique isn't for everyone--it's just one type of method to heal.

    I dont mind him. I think he was better when he was just a segment on Oprah. His show has gone to his head to an extent. I do enjoy most of his shows tho.

    There are many stereotypes about the industry that I work in. Sometimes they can be true but human beings are very diverse creatures and cannot be pigeon-holed into one category.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    Yep, another Dr Phil hater here.

    What purpose does he serve on television or in general, really? He invites people onto his show so he can berate them with his self-righteous (yet so blindingly obvious) psychological spiels to win the accolade of his audience. And that doesn't really say much either, because I'd hate to say it but anyone who takes him seriously has to be pretty low on the IQ meter themselves. Honestly, anyone who has read a basic psychology text or has lived life in the 'real world' could probably give the same advice he does.

    I just hope that the guests who do appear on Dr Phil are referred to licensed professionals that can genuinely help them with their problems off-air. But I suppose ethical conduct does not exist when it comes to the big bucks.

    I have tried to watch him and read his book.

    No i don't care for how he talks to people. He talks down to them. That's just wrong.

    But Oprah is his bud. so he may be here to stay for a while....Eh.

    The problem with a lot of his guests is they don't listen when the people around them give them common sense advice. They need someone with a title to say it--or someone really blunt to say it and not back down. That gets them to admit they need to change their philosophy and approach to their problem. That's the goal of most shows--to confront the hard-headed.

    The show does a review of their mental state and gets permission from their home therapist to go on the show.

    Dr. Phil is a charlatan just like most televangelists and other snake-oil salesmen. I see him as an entertaining con-artist who's full of .

    His advice is all common sense stuff that everyone should know, but who need a kick in the ass to do it.

    Guest: "My boyfriend is cheating on me!"
    Dr. Phil: "Leave him!"

    Guest: "I can't lose weight!"
    Dr. Phil: "Eat less, move more!"

    Guest: "My ass itches!"
    Dr. Phil: "Scratch it!"

    What a racket!
