Brit Wants Therapeutic Visitation

Posted Jan 22nd 2008 12:09PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned Britney Spears' lawyers will go to court tomorrow and ask Commissioner Scott Gordon to allow Brit "monitored visitation in a therapeutic setting."

TMZ has learned Brit's family and professionals in her life have been planning a "creative way" to get Britney mental help. As TMZ first reported, Britney has some sort of bipolar disorder. We know the plan is not involuntary commitment -- under the law she's simply not a candidate. It's not voluntarily commitment either -- Brit has refused to do that. The family and professionals have devised a different way of getting her evaluated and hopefully treated.

But there's a rub, which we'll explain in the next post.

The hearing is scheduled for tomorrow at 8:30 AM. Don't know if Brit and K-Fed will show, but it's certainly not out of the question.

32. Do you think she may actually wear a bra if she does show up in court?

33. she has no business being with or near those kids until she is well. the kids shouldn't be used as a tool to get her well.

it is terribly ignorant--those of you who said those kinds are being harmed, being away fmor their mother--um.. NO, not when she is mentally ill, it isn't. it is what is best until she is well.

37. Brittney needs to see her kids. Kudos to her for doing whatever it takes. If the Paps could leave her alone for a month, I think she has a chance of survival and recovery.....Give those babies a kiss from me ;-)

40. When she had custody of her children her actions were questionable. The only reason Kevin was able to gain custody was because of her actions. She doesn't need custody of these children until she becomes more concerned for them than herself. No mother is better than a bad mother.

42. Let's take a nother look at Cynic's comment shalll we?

25. Quit claiming she is bipolar, TMZ. She's not, and you are gossip bloggers, not psychiatrists.

She has Narcissistic Personality Disorder with histrionic features. She is acting "crazy" to get attention. She is capable of behaving normally; she just doesn't want to. Personality disorders are NOT mental illnesses.

Narcissists ruin their kids' lives. They are too selfish to be parents. This cow does not deserve to ever see her kids again. Quit enabling her behavior.

So where did you go to college? Major in psychology by any chance? Or just another critic who wants to make sure they put their two cents in...

She hit the nail on the head didn't she... you want a piece of me....

45. to 39. i agree.

exactly. no mother is better than one that isn't stable. those kids don't need their mother if she can't take care of herself, let alone them--and she has proven she can't.. and she hasn't pulled herself together yet, so they're better off without her.
