Personally, if anyone on TV is qualified to suggest someone to change, I'd say it's him, considering his past work experience and education.

He's a ******* engineer on a train wreck. What a ******* joke. Sits people down and solves their issues in 7 minutes, my ******* ***. As far as I am concerned fuggin head shrinks can join the voodoo back cracking chiropracters on the list of "I wish I had gotten the DR in front of my name for something useful".

Phil is such a rip off, his methods of putting things on you and telling you that you're responsible to change your life by making you guilty, are bullshit. It works well for the white trash clishe's (people dependent on others' leadership) around the country, but for people who have a plan for the future and just went of course, this doesn't work. ****, if psychology was that easy, I'd be rich!!!

I think he's very knowledgeable, but I have some problems with what he does. For instance, some woman had OCD. Now, medical doctors would say that it's something she can't help, and needs to be addressed with medication. Whereas Phil treated it as a bad habit. That struck me as weird, considering how smart he seems be (to me, anyways).

He doesn't get to the root of ****, he doesn't even use a decent method of psychology.. which is a pretty **** statement in itself.



He tells them what their issue is as he sees it, they go home and whack the kid around and 10 years later with any luck he'll grow up fucked up and come back to **** Dr Phil in the *** in front of his "studio audience".
