[QUOTE="donna723, post: 637247, member: 1883"] I usually watch Dr. Phil every day too and what Janet says is right. He's always been that way to a certain extent but much more lately and it does get irritating. In almost every case involving teenagers or young adults, he will sometimes put a bit of the blame on them but he puts the bulk of the responsibility on the parents. It some cases it may be justified but in many, many of them it is not. These young people have free will and are under the influence of many other things and people other than just their parents. And he doesn't always acknowledge that so many times these parents have done everything they possibly could, used every resource available to them, turned every stone, for years. If their child lies, steals, manipulates, drinks or uses drugs, he will always end up putting the ultimate blame for it on the parents. Also, Dr. Phil is a psychologist, not a medical doctor, not a psychiatrist, so he tends to look at almost everything as behavioral. You rarely hear him talk about these kids possibly being helped by appropriate medications. And he tends to discount the fact that children can have some very real psychiatric disorders, no matter how concerned or how loving the parents might be. [/QUOTE]
