76. I do believe Dr. Phil's intentions were for the good. Was the way it was done the best way?......no, but as he said, "At least he was trying to do something." Everyone else is just watching this "train" go full speed ahead and just waiting for the "crash". Is there anyone who is trying to "derail" it? Everytime I see and read things about Britney I immediately think of Anna Nicole. If other's around Anna had done something positve would she be alive today? We can't condeem Dr. Phil for at least trying to help....

77. Dear Debbie #17:
Girl you are so right.....I could not have said it better. Phil is so afraid of Robin it makes me sick and she is so full of herself along with Botox and everything else......her teeth even are overdone to the point of her not being able to close her mouth correctly.
We know what Phil wanted and the only thing he wanted and Britney was his "rating token" he thought.

79. # 41 - Good info. The DIVORCED and sanctimonious Phil was married to "I have Chiclets for teeth" Robin and had two small children when he was sanctioned for having an affair with a 19-y.o. I knew that ugly, bald blowhard bushwhacked around. And he thinks Brittany needs an intervention

Phil needs to be quiet..........his background is being exposed......... BTW, he is so fat and has the nerve to write diet books.
What crap!!!

AS the old saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. As for Britney, I don't know what is going on with her and I seriously doubt any one here does as well. Sure, many can speculate about her situation, but speculation doesn't mean squat.

I do hope Britney is okay and everything works out for her, but I really do question why anyone would ask a day time talk show host to go and speak to her. Like I said before if you can show me where he is licensed to practice in California, greaat. If not, then IMO, it was a really stupid move trying to get him involved.

Talk show hosts are people not Gods.

82. Once Again:
Also from Wikipedia:

The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists imposed disciplinary sanctions on McGraw on January 27, 1989 for an inappropriate "dual relationship" reported in 1988 by a therapy client/employee from 1984. McGraw was ordered by the Board to take an ethics class, pass a jurisprudence exam, complete a physical evaluation, undergo a psychological evaluation and have his practice supervised for one year in order to continue his private practice in Texas. McGraw admits to giving the client a "job" at his office (which is not allowed), but denied carrying on a sexual relationship with the 19 year old, who says their relationship was "sexually inappropriate."[26][2][11] As of 2008, McGraw has not completed the conditions imposed by the Board of Examiners of Psychologists, and he is not licensed to practice psychology in Texas, California or anywhere else.

83. Of course he wouldn't admit any wrong doing, he's got the biggest ego on the planet. He's always right, and everyone else is always wrong.

I used to like Phil. But his show is now like Jerry Springer.... dirtbag guests that half the time seem like they're lying about their situation just to be on TV. Even if they're telling the truth, the dirtbag element is still there.....

84. You are right hes not licensed in the state of ca, but if he can help whats the harm in letting him talk to her somebody needs to and after all at one point he was a psychologist and has helped other people evidently her family picked him I would love to see her get help from somebody by the way I work in the medical field and i do not watch Dr Phil Oprah or Rachel Ray she needs help

86. Dr. Phil is simply stating the facts. Bazaar how many people hate him. Take a good look at yourselves people. He's not sitting around ripping all of you to hell....quite the contrary. Alot of angry, insecure and ignorant people throwing their crap out here. Get yourself some seriously needed help.

89. To #82 Sarah...what planet are you from? Phil MacGraw is one of the biggest blowhards I have ever seen and as far as being sensitive to anyone, you surely are wrong. Absolutely people make mistakes in their lives but who needs a blowhard like him in your face with his garbage? He would be the last man I would ever go to for any kind of professional help. He is licensed to do nothing! He is cruel in his assessments and the way he speaks is shameful. He is a quick fix blowhard and if you had a lick of sense you would see that. I am sick to death of those who support him and feel he is such a great man. He is a phoney....another big nothing who Oprah has discovered. And the way to have Oprah sing your praises to the world? Just say what she wants to hear. Sarah, grow up...Dr. Blowhard has harmed more people than can ever be imagined. He is nothing. He needs to take his little stepford wife Robin and just go away.
