As others have noted, this is dangerous nonsense. How anyone calling himself a doctor could give that kind of advice is just astonishing.

And why do Americans so love to take their intractable and debilitating Personality Disorders, Marital Problems, and Teen-Rebellion crises onto national telelvision? Do they think if they parade their moral and spriitual failings in front of an audience of millions of couch potatoes, that somehow the 38 seconds of advice they get from the host willl be more valuable than a short hour in the psychotherapists office? How do they face their neighbors after all the dirty linen is aired on the air? At least Jerry Springer is funny, kind of like Pro Wrestling. Doctor Phil is a stuck up bore, floating on the puff-cloud of his own massive ego.

And have you noticed how miserable his grown son looks, whenever he's anywhere near his dad? And how completely relaxed and likeable he becomes when he gets the heck off that soundstage and out into the real world? That about sums it up right there I think.
