The family of troubled pop star Britney Spears has accused the host of the psychology themed television show “Dr. Phil†of breaching their trust after the celebrity doctor made his to-be-personal visit to the singer in hospital open to public. While Britney’s family is obviously furious at Phillip Calvin McGraw for risking their relation with their daughter, Dr. Phil has refused to apologize from Spears saying he just intended to help.
The accusations and clarifications come following McGraw’s statement to “Entertainment Tonight†in which he emphasized on the need of medical and psychological intervention for Britney.
Britney’s family through their spokesman later condemned McGraw for his statement and for passing an impression that they were to tape a program with him on singer’s mental situation.
While the self-help therapist claims he cancelled the Monday’s planned sitdown with Jamie and Lynne Spears citing Britney’s intense situation, the family says it never had planned for such a program and called McGraw’s motives ‘self-serving.’
Britney was hospitalized late Thursday night and recommended a minimum of 72-hour lockdown for mental evaluation after she locked herself up in a room with her one-year-old son, Jayden.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackMy better half Loves Dr Phil and it befuddles me so, Like Jerry Springer he appeals to our “slow down to see the car wreck better” emotions. He is in the opinion of the vast majority of those in his profession a predatory egotist who exploits others.
But He is also a kind and compassion individual who attempts to help those in crises with in the context of an ego on steroids.
He will sooner or later learn to control his “I am Dr Phil ” or be expelled from the profession, Of course he could still call himself “Doctor” and host his T.V show but the loss of a license to practice would be devastating to his evident fragile sense of worth.
In short Dr Phil needs an intervention and we should all pop over to his house some late evening with camera phones and podcast recorders at the ready and “HELP” him
