I think Dr. Phil is a pompous moron who likes to hear himself speak.

I used to dislike Dr. Phil strongly, LOL, but I was basing that on the fact that he is a sort of spin-off from Oprah, who is not one of my favorites (she seems a bit too self-absorbed at times, especially when she's being "philanthropic"). I started watching his show several months ago, off and on, and honestly, I think that the advice he gives is just common sense. The people on the show are usually so far over the edge of reality that what he says can sound like the Gospel, LOL! He does seem to run into some problems, however, when people are not impressed with him or his advice and I find those shows funny (embarrassing for him, though, I would imagine).

When on TV, he is an entertainer. If I were seeing him in his office and paying upwards of $100 per hour, I would want him to behave professionally and treat me civilly. I see his whole approach as an act. I don't pay attention to his advice.

Believe he is in Tom Cruise state of mind, plus just loves to hear his own voice, he can be insulating at times, even Oprah has not been that bad

It has been reported that if one goes to a taping of his show, you have to sign a release that his advice is not a guarantee of any type of treatment, and is for entertaiment purposes only.

Depends on what you call practical advice.

Practical advice....yes, if you can afford the "therapy sessions" he advises most people to go to.
