Paging Dr. Phil: You’re in Trouble, Big Guy
Just because our readers like to wag the finger with an update now and then… Here’s some news being reported by Zap:
A complaint has been filed against Dr. Phil with the California Board of Psychology.
The complaint reportedly accuses Dr. Phil McGraw of practicing without a license when he visited Britney Spears at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after her meltdown earlier this month, according to TMZ.com.
Dr. Phil is also accused of violating the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The complaint alleges Dr. Phil practiced clinical psychology without a license and further violated doctor-patient privilege by discussing the pop star’s case with the media.
Dr. Phil has never been licensed to practice in California, and he is no longer licensed in his home state of Texas.
McGraw failed to complete the conditions imposed as disciplinary sanctions by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists in 1989.
At that time a former therapy client had filed a complaint against him, claiming their relationship was inappropriate.
McGraw later admitted giving her a job but denied touching her.
Soon after he was officially reprimanded, McGraw closed his private practice.
We don’t know anything about those complaints being reported by Zap, but we do love the idea of a doctor being forced to take his own medicine. Maybe Oprah can have him on her show to apologize some more?

HAHA. It couldnt have happened to a nicer guy.
January 18th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
I can just see the good Dr. going off the deep end like Britney. You know… shaving his head or something. Oh… Never mind.
January 18th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
lol, he wont get in trouble. He didnt charge her, so the complaint will go nowhere. BUT the publicity (the misconduct in Texas is NOT a rumor) will point out exactly how little morals he actually has. His ethics will always be questioned now. As they should be.
January 18th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Depends on who filed the complaint.
January 18th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Another psychiatrist, who has a petition going around.

Oh, how I wish this would put the doc in his place.. or at least take his ego down a few pegs! Thanks for the link, Melissa!
January 18th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
I think it’s sad that Dr. Phil had to get “too big for his britches”…. compliments of Oprah.
I will say this: I personally know some people in my life that Dr. Phil has truly helped….and for that I am thankful.
However, I think he saw the Britney situation as a major “plug” for his own show. And that, in a word, is reprehensible. He should be grateful for the show that he has, for the people that he helps….. and get over trying to be some SUPERSTAR SHRINK.
Just get on with business as usual, help people, stop trying to become the next coming of Christ. It makes me so angry that people can’t be happy with a good life… they can only think of having the SUPERSTAR life.
Dr. Phil…. get smart and thank God that you have what you have. Take your little “Barbie” wife, and just get on with it. Stop trying to be some SUPERHERO… which you are not.
You have a talent to help people. Use it. Don’t be butting in where you have NO BUSINESS OR RIGHTS.
IMHO.

I know anyone can do a wiki entry, but everything in this entry has sources.
This guy is whack, and when he became famous it WAS because of Oprah, and how he used his psychology degree to sway jurors. A lucrative business apparently.
Not as much as a tv host.
January 18th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Personally, I don’t think there is a studio big enough to accommodate the egos of Oprah and Dr. Phil.
As much as we dislike him, it seems celebrities can’t stand him, as well.

January 18th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
He really compromised the basic ethics of a doctor by planning a mental illness expose on TV.
Too bad. I did like he straight forward logic and understanding style. But I tend to think the idea of treating people while on air is a flawed concept.
I’m surprised he hasn’t had more problems.
January 18th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
I agree with A.
January 19th, 2008 at 2:01 am
That complaint isn’t going anywhere. Brittany’s parents called him and asked him to come to the hospital. And he doesn’t practice psychology. Just another jealous person and that is why the complaint was filed. Any one of us can host a talk show and do what Dr. Phil does.
January 19th, 2008 at 6:26 am
I agree that Dr. Phil is not saying anything unique or technical — just good common sense. But Dr. Phil doesn’t seem to use his own common sense to realize how obnoxious he is. I find him and his wife self righteous and puffed up with self importance. I almost expect them to walk through the audience and let people bow and kiss their rings. Same goes for Oprah.
January 19th, 2008 at 8:21 am
Come to think of it, the complaint can’t go anywhere-the California board can’t discipline someone who isn’t licensed through them. The most they could do is issue a public statement saying they disapprove. Big whoop.
January 19th, 2008 at 8:59 am
ROFLMAO Nona…. too funny.

Yes, they can investigate, and then refer the case to the district attorney if they find a crime has been committed, and then it’s up to the DA. It’s a felony in California to practice without a license.
It doesn’t matter if anybody called McGraw and asked for help. If somebody called me and asked for help removing their apendix, that would not give me permission to practice medicine without a license. Just because he was called doesn’t mean he no longer needs a license.
January 19th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
lol Mike Shuler.
January 19th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
IF he is practicing psychology you are correct MS. If he isn’t then you are wrong.
January 19th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Why cant you admit what he did was unethical Sophie? Not so much for going there, but by giving a diagnosis on national television.
January 19th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
What Melissa said.
Very often lately you seem to be overtly oppositional Sophie. What gives?
January 19th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
“Yes, they can investigate, and then refer the case to the district attorney if they find a crime has been committed, and then it’s up to the DA. It’s a felony in California to practice without a license.”
No, sorry, the licensing board has no jurisdiction when it comes to investigating someone who isn’t licensed through them, beyond establishing that the person was not licensed, and providing an affidavit and/or sworn testimony to that effect. It would be up to law enforcement and the DA to investigate further.
January 19th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Isnt that bascially the same thing? Bringing a case to a DA?
Like I said, I dont think that it will go anywhere because he didnt charge, therefore wasnt technically practising.
But then again there are advocates who dont charge that are bound by HIPPA laws.
January 19th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
I never said he wasn’t wrong for the statement he made to the media. My contention is that he isn’t practicing psychology on his talk show, nor was he called to the hospital by Brittny’s parent’s to be her shrink. That is all I am saying. I don’t think I am being overly oppositional A. It’s just that sometimes your reading comprehension sucks.
January 19th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Sophie, you have stated time and time again how great you think he is. To the point at that the last thread you were settling down to one of his programs regarding Megan Meiers saying it looked to be informative etc. It made you look like a tv addict at best and a sycophant at worst. (ignoring the fact that he was going to ditch that show for a Britney one before the shitstorm happened)
A’s reading comprehension doesn’t suck, you are sticking up for fat head when obviously he was an asshole.
And he has a sketchy history, which you also want to ignore. You say he has helped so many people, but how do you know what happens to these families that he exposes on tv after the show is over?
January 19th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
I think Dr. Phil’s biggest and only concern is commercial advertising rates. The higher his ratings, the more they can charge for commercial spots during his show. His decisions on where to go and what to show and what to say and to whom, are based solely on how him and his producers predict the effects of his actions will be on his show’s ratings. Outside of the effect on ratings, he cares nothing for Britney Spears or any other guest he has had on his show.
January 19th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
Amen, Mike S.
January 19th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Now it’s my turn to tell you to kiss my ass Sophie.
He promotes himself as a doctor. He should be held accountable to the same standard of ethics as a doctor…because he certain is implying that he’s “practicing” his trade.
Period.
January 19th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
and if my reading comprehension “sucks”, perhaps it’s your spelling, grammar or maybe just your personality.
January 19th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
WHATEVER
January 19th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
That was mature.
January 19th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
At least when I tell you off Sophie, I make it clear. Your single word in all caps leaves me wondering if you’re 12, or if this conversation is the type of thing you’re aiming for in the first place–a tit for tat session.
You’re certainly entitled to your opinion. If your a Dr. Phil lover, then so be it. And if your position on every thread (other than to continually stick your head so far up Terri’s ass that I often wonder if you’re the same person) is to be different, then it is what it is. But you’ve really discredited yourself in my eyes, and until you can converse with something that actually makes sense, I’ll do my best to avoid getting into it with you.
January 19th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
btw–no offense meant to Terri. Just speaking about my personal observations wrt Sophie.
January 19th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Melissa–What a great word: “sycophant”. I’ll admit that it’s new to me. Can’t wait to put it to use.
January 19th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
Oh, I started using it after Michelle Gray, so give her credit. I have always known what it means, but have just enjoyed using it myself.
I have known many in my lifetime, and really wish I knew the usage in High School.
January 19th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Last post before shutting down. I was not calling Michelle a sycophant, just that she uses the word, and I like it.
I enjoy the vocabulary section of readers digest, just to confuzzle (not a word) people sometimes. But sycophant should definitely be used in these forums.
January 20th, 2008 at 12:29 am
Lol. I knew exactly what you meant.
Sycophant
: a servile self-seeking flatterer

January 20th, 2008 at 8:52 am

You owe me some Windex, A. Had to clean my screen off after reading that.
January 20th, 2008 at 8:57 am
“Isnt that bascially the same thing? Bringing a case to a DA?”
Yeah. I mean, the licensing board will just send it there anyway, since they can’t do anything themselves.
Kind of weird that the complaint was made to the board in the first place. I mean, unless Spears herself steps up to witness that Phil performed as a psychologist during the time he was in her room, which she ain’t gonna do, then the it’s a moot matter. The whole thing smells like a sop to public opinion.
January 20th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Maybe Dr.Phil will be the next celebrity to do a little jail time? Then he will have plenty of things to talk about on his show.
January 20th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
he thing that ticks me off about Dr. Phil and his lack of license is he presents himself as a practicing therapist. He supposedly uses his professional expertise to advise his guest. He wags his finger and lectures them on ethical behaviors all the time he has lost his license and never bothered to try and register in CA.
January 20th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Well, let’s just wait and see if he gets in trouble or not. HIPPA rules are pretty strict. He may at least have to pay a heavy fine.
January 20th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
I doubt anything will come of this, though I certainly wish something would, because he needs to be taken down a few notches. My neighbor and her husband were on his show a few years back and were having major marital problems. He made them sit in a room, face to face, and hash things out, “classic” Dr. Phil therapist strategy. (All on tape of course!) They received no help after the show and did not feel like they gained anything by going except embarrassing the crap out of themselves on national tv, a silent airplane ride home, and a big fat divorce right after. I’m not saying the guy should have been able to save their marriage, but I have noticed that the only people receiving REAL help from Dr. Phil, (often through REAL Dr.’s who step in and help after the guests have returned home), are the ones who return the biggest ratings, ones where he has to follow-up on their progress.
I found it hilarious when he jumped on the weight-loss money train! Yeah, that’s your area of expertise buddy! Oprah has a unique way of pickin’ em, first James Frey, now fake Dr. Phil. Next we’ll find out Barrack is a secret agent for China! lol
Compass- I’m sooo feelin’ ya with the dislike of P.M. and O.W. Ego and more ego. I find both of them to lack sincerety and am always blown away by the people who worship them. Joel Osteen is another one in that category for me. Don’t get that one either.
O.T. question, but one that relates to ego and people liking them for reasons oblivious to me: Did anyone see the complete version of Tom Cruise’s crazy rant? Holy crap he’s nuts. For your viewing pleasure: http://tinyurl.com/2wqkjw
January 21st, 2008 at 9:12 am
Oh, I love that Tom Cruise rant. The guy is deliciously nuts. He’s like one of those car accidents that he talks about – we just have to stop and look (except we know we can’t help and don’t really want to).
January 21st, 2008 at 9:45 am
LMAO Rae! Sooo true, he’s beyond the pale and it’s obvious KSW is not helping!Then again, I’m one of those damn SP’s keepin him down. Apparently the guy has served more people than McDonald’s. Wow! What a guy.
January 21st, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Emerson, I totally agree with you about Osteen. He looks like what I envision the old snake oil salesmen used to look like.
Cruise is nuts, but I do adore the rants!
January 21st, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I’m wondering how HIPPA rules apply, since he didn’t “treat” Britney, nor bill for it, nor keep medical records, etc. He isn’t even a “medical professional” of whom this law would apply. I think it’s grasping at straws, to impale him.
That said, I think it’s scummy for anyone to be discussing Britney right now. While I think she’s toast, she’s also medically fragile. Bipolar disorder DOES explain a LOT of her symptoms. (Hope I don’t get in trouble with HIPPA for saying that.)
January 21st, 2008 at 2:23 pm
I agree Soobs. He didn’t disclose anything about her medical condition either.
January 21st, 2008 at 4:49 pm
He TALKED about her medical condition. On NATIONAL TV.
I think thats what the inquiry is about, did he go as a medical professional? (one who plays one on tv) If he did, then even if he didnt charge they may have something.
I doubt it too, but I would think it was funny if they did find something on him.
As for not complying to his sanctions in Texas, is that the same as like, not doing your community service?
January 21st, 2008 at 5:13 pm
I watched just his little speech. From the comments he made, he could have been reading this board because all his “reasons” match all our comments.
Here is a good article that discusses his liability.
http://tinyurl.com/372ccf
I also read in another article that anyone can file a complaint. I’m betting it was someone that knew he couldn’t be actually charged but wanted to give him a kick in the pants anyway.
January 21st, 2008 at 5:23 pm
No, he didn’t talk about her medical condition on TV. He said she needed medical care and intervention. A lot of people were saying that. He never said anything about any specific medical condition. Morally, he may be an ass for saying anything at all but legally & ethically he did nothing wrong.
January 21st, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Saying that somebody needs immediate mental health care is indeed saying something about their medical condition.
If you are not using the title “Dr.” in front of your name, or visiting patients at the hospital, then of course it’s just your uninformed opinion. But if you are a PhD using the title “Dr.” in front of your name, and then visiting a patient in the hospital in order to diagnose their medical condition in preparation for treating their condition on a nationally televised reality/talk show, I’d say yes, there are some legal and ethical problems here if you talk to all the entertainment tabloids about your patients need for mental health attention in order to get plugs for the show you plan to air, that hasn’t been taped or even agreed to yet.
Also, walking into a hospital as a “Dr.” and going to a patient care room to examine a person admitted for psychological evaluation in order to make a diagnosis, is practicing medicine, and in California, you need a license to do that, otherwise it’s a felony.
January 21st, 2008 at 6:21 pm
p.s.
Britney Spears sounds like she needs some serious professional help. Dr. Phil ain’t it. Dr. Phil is an entertainer, not a Doctor. By inflicting himself into the situation, he does Spears a great disservice, and actually hinders her case and her prognosis. He should know better. He should know his actions would actually do her harm. It doesn’t matter if her publicity starved parents called him. He should have told them to come to his studio.
I saw in the tabloids that little sister is pregnant and drinking. Why doesn’t Dr. Phil go after that?
January 21st, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Soooo, Emerson . . . I guess you haven’t discovered “the Champion in You”, huh, lol. Joel Osteen is one interesting character . . . the best part of his “sermons” is the joke at the beginning. Everyone say it with me “This is my Bible” . . . I don’t know the rest of what he is saying because I’m always too busy discovering the housework or something. But I do know that if I have enough faith, I will be rich.
January 21st, 2008 at 7:02 pm
LOL Lisa! No, my inner champion is in hiding from people like Joel. My discernment bells ring loudly whenever I hear his voice on the t.v. BTW, I have a friend in real estate who just sold him 3 lots in River Oaks to build a home, where properties range from 1-20mill. So keep the faith Lis!
Like I’ve said before, I feel badly for Britany. Though she’s brought a lot on herself through her actions I can’t help but feel badly for her because she is so obviously ill and is being taken advantage of at every turn. I didn’t neccessarily think much of Dr. Phil before this, but I certainly did not expect him to turn around and do what he did by doing those interviews. He didn’t say anything earth shattering, but it doesn’t take a Rocket Scientist to know that, regardless of B.S.’s diagnosis, the ONE thing she desperately needs is someone she can trust and not be sold out by. That he had even a smidgen of a possibility to point her in the right direction of actually receiving treatment, and before that first step in the right direction was even made, that he ratted her out to the press is revolting. We can only hope that someone is able to step-in and help her. Unfortunately at this late stage in the game it will be nearly impossible for her to trust anyone ever again.
January 21st, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Joel Olsteen:
“This is my Bible. I am who it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.”
I don’t watch Joel. To me, he is less offensive that many others that have preceded him, but it is easy to feel he, like his predecessors, has forgotten he is a messenger not the message. But then, I find mega churches scary. They take on a cult like quality and seem more interested in being members of “the” church than practicing Christianity.
Mike:
“Why doesn’t Dr. Phil go after that? ”
He may have been busted before he could. He could get a whole month of shows off the Spears’ family alone.
January 21st, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Sophie, what did he do right ethically?
Legally you may be right, in fact nothing will probably come of this, EXCEPT, now people know where he stands ETHICALLY. He has none.
That was kind of scaterized, morally he is wrong but ethically he is right? WTF?
January 21st, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Thats tabloid shit anyway. Federscum is trying to sell a book. He wants 10 million to trash the entire family. (if you believe the same tabloids).
January 21st, 2008 at 10:02 pm
CompassRose,
I’m with you on the mega church feelings. I was raised in the Christian church and am a practicing Christian, but the best way for me to articulate my current position: I’m a believer but not an understander. “Scripture” can be so easily used to manipulate people. There are so many out there on TV now that warp it to mean what they want it to mean (not that it’s a new thing, it’s just more accessible now). Oral Roberts comes to mind. That was just embarrassing.
As far as Dr. Phil, I have never liked him. I think that “on air” therapy does more harm than good and his recent actions regarding Britney Spears just underscores his egotism and complete moral/ethical bankruptcy.
I think/know that Britney Spears brought a lot of her troubles onto herself and part of me figures she’s made her bed . . . But enough is enough. I wish she had the ability (through personal desire and being left alone by the media)to just hole up somewhere and regain some control over herself and her life. I think she tried to do that in the hospital, but even there she was harassed.
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:57 am
“Morally, he may be an ass for saying anything at all but legally & ethically he did nothing wrong.”
Legally, he did nothing wrong. Ethically, he was wrong all over the place.
You know, Sophie, Dr. Phil probably isn’t reading this blog. You can stop virtually kissing his butt any time now.
January 22nd, 2008 at 8:28 am
Sophie- What ethical standards can one claim to have as a supposed Dr. of Psychology when they go on national TV to talk about a possible patient? At no time did Britany Spears sign an agreement giving Phil McGraw the right to speak of her problems, nor did she invite him to her hospital room. My mom is a psychotherapist and I have sat across the dinner table many a night growing up where she was hesitant to even speak of her day for fear of violating patient privelages. She will speak to issues someone was having now, but has never used their names and I wouldn’t know who she was working with from adam. The fact that he immediately ran to speak to ET, because he gets paid big bucks to do so, means that all that really matters to him is the money, not ethics and most certainly not Britany.
Some people become so blinded by money, power and the privelage of Hollywood that they lose their mind. P.M. and B.S. are actually in the same category on this, they have just had different results. He lost his ethics and got too big for his britches, she is on the verge of losing everything, including her life.
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:13 am
“Saying that somebody needs immediate mental health care is indeed saying something about their medical condition”
No, it isn’t. If it were, then ALL the television, news commentators, even other medical professionals, who have said she needs immediate medical intervention (haven’t most of US all said that too??) would be “practicing medicine” and be subject to HIPPA laws. We/they aren’t. And neither is he.
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:17 am
“We can only hope that someone is able to step-in and help her. Unfortunately at this late stage in the game it will be nearly impossible for her to trust anyone ever again. ”
This is a two-fold problem. Number one, I do believe she is bipolar. Mentally ill people, while in the throws of their mental illness NEVER believe they need help. The second problem is that she is an adult. Unless she is homicidal or suicidal, NO ONE can “make” her get the help she needs. Not even the courts. She appears to be in a very manic phase right now….she’ll never seek help if she’s manic.
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:53 am
Soobs, Emerson didn’t say, or even suggest, that anyone can “make” Spears do anything.
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Soobs–Most news commentators and talk show hosts don’t refer to themselves as a doctor, Dr. Phil does. Plus the fact that he made his statement about Britney indeed “needing medical help” after visiting her in the hospital, which most certainly has him skirting the HIPPA law issues more so than if he were just making commentary based upon distant observation.
Gray area at best. Blatant ethical and/or legal violation at worst.
January 23rd, 2008 at 3:12 am
Here is the Psychology Licensing Law which is Chapter 6.6, Article 1, of the CALIFORNIA BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE.
BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE
SECTION 2900-2919
2900. The Legislature finds and declares that practice of psychology in California affects the public health, safety, and welfare and is to be subject to regulation and control in the public interest to protect the public from the unauthorized and unqualified practice of psychology and from unprofessional conduct by persons licensed to practice psychology.
2901. This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the “Psychology Licensing Law.”
2902. As used in this chapter, unless the context clearly requires otherwise and except as in this chapter expressly otherwise provided the following definitions apply:
(c) A person represents himself or herself to be a psychologist when the person holds himself or herself out to the public by any title or description of services incorporating the words “psychology,” “psychological,” “psychologist,” “psychology consultation,” “psychology consultant,” “psychometry,” “psychometrics” or “psychometrist,” “psychotherapy,” “psychotherapist,” “psychoanalysis,” or “psychoanalyst,” or when the person holds himself or herself out to be trained, experienced, or an expert in the field of psychology. emphasis added
Does not Dr. Phil portray himself as an expert psychologist or an expert in psychology?
2903. No person may engage in the practice of psychology, or represent himself or herself to be a psychologist, without a license granted under this chapter, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
I think that Dr. Phil does indeed represent himself to be a psychologist. He may not have asked or charged a direct fee for his services that he rendered to Britney Spears, but that doesn’t mean he was doing it for free. He was openly planning and promoting an entertainment show concerning his services, for which he would have been compensated.
Technically, his title should be Dr. Phil PhD. By dropping the PhD, he is intentionally leaving the impression that he is a psychologist, which is a violation of California State Law if you don’t have the license.
January 23rd, 2008 at 7:20 am
Actually, I believe that to many people, the title of “Doctor” implies “medical doctor”, a psychiatrist. But he could always claim he was visiting as a friend of the family. Does anyone know what happened when he went to see Britney? Did he stay long? Did she talk to him or was she too distressed?
January 23rd, 2008 at 10:44 am
“Technically, his title should be Dr. Phil PhD.”
Properly, his title should be Phil McGraw, Ph.D. OR Dr. Phil McGraw.
Dr. Phil McGraw, Ph.D. is redundant.
I agree with the rest of your post completely.
January 23rd, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Yes it is redundant. My customers who are doctors do not use the “Dr.” title in front of their names on their signs. It’s always “Joe Smith, D.P.M.” or whatever their particular specialty is.
It could be that Dr. Phil’s very T.V. show is a crime in progress if he tells people he is an expert in psychology. I think he’d be more respectable if he was able to maintain the professional license.
My state requires me to have an electrician’s license. If I saw somebody on T.V. claiming to be an expert in my field, only without the license that I am required to have to practice my profession, I would probably turn them into the electrical board for practicing without a license too.

Why doesn’t Dr.Phil just apply for a license to practice psychology in the state of California? If he is legit the state should have no problem granting him a license. Obviously Dr.Phil’s motive for visiting Britney in the hospital wasn’t out of genuine care and concern for her…it’s because he wants to use her to get better ratings. I don’t blame him for it because I would probably do the same thing if I were him.
