Dr. Phil Slept With 19 Yr. Old Client.

Note that there isn't a question mark. It is a factual recorded event that Dr. Phil cheated on his wife with a 19 year old female client. He was then reprimaded and forced to take classes, CLASSES. I am a li...ttle dissapointed. Here's a little more information on it... Ethical violation in Texas After being reprimanded by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists for an "inappropriate dual relationship" with a therapy client in 1988, McGraw was required to take ethics classes in order to continue his private practice in Texas. McGraw admits to giving the client a job at his office (which of course isn't allowed) but denied carrying on a sexual relationship with the 19 year old, who says their relationship was both sexual and codependent. [2] He did not complete the required classes and instead went on to found Courtroom Sciences, Inc, a consulting firm that provides advice to law firms in making psychological arguments. Oprah Winfrey's legal team hired the firm in 1996 to help fight a lawsuit from cattle ranchers, which led to their introduction. And the public-record link: Click here

Un-frickin'-believable! Never watch his show anyway, but why is this guy still allowed to practice? This is who is dispensing advice to people? Come on!

Lena is correct; it was his second wife he cheated on - not his first. He's been married to second wife robin since 1976. I wrote about this on my website. :)
