Ehm. Clips please
Dr. Phil is on TV in my country aswell, I think he's a fraud to be honest. I think alot of his guests are actors and EVERYTHING that happens on the show is staged.
edit: Ah, found some clips. Good stuff.
if you watch the doctors tv show, you can false medical information posed as fact in every episode - they even told people that diabetes was caused by eating too much sugar

And slapping his mother and asking her how it feels? I find that rather telling.
His mother reminded me strongly of how my mother, who was abusive, acted around others who had been told about her abuse - even had some of the same facial expressions. I believe the kid and think Dr. Phil would be quite surprised if he put cameras in their house, told the mother he was turning them on Friday, but turned them on monday instead and saw what was happening.
There was an episode on 20/20? once about a mother of twin adopted boys who was complaining they were out of control and even going to a psychologist wouldn't help. Everyone was believing that this was a good mother who just had wild out of control children. 20/20 set up cameras and soon found that the problem wasn't the boys - the mother and her bf were abusing the children. What they videotaped was enough to have the boys removed from her home. In one scene she whips the one boy because the dog peed on the couch and she accused him of squirting it with a water gun, in another scene she is whipping the boy and he jumps up and hollars when hit. Then the bf says "Now you've just got yourself 3 or 4 more of them" They also forced the boys to watch when they killed their pet goat. both boys also had diagnosed behavioral disorders but the mother wasn't giving them their medicine. Anyone know what episode I'm referring to? It would have been about 8-10 years ago
