Get Real, Dr. Phil

"Get Real, Dr. Phil: Discrediting Television's Most Overrated Psychologist" is a satirical criticism of Dr. Phil McGraw and his pedestrian advice. I was kidnapped by terrorists, tied to a chair and forced to watch Dr. Phil's daytime TV program for more than three weeks before US commandos rescued me. Over the course of those three endless weeks, I decided that it was time someone put Dr. Phil and his simpleton recommendations in his place.

While "Get Real, Dr. Phil: Discrediting Television's Most Overrated Psychologist" has an extensive amount of humor in it, including some R-rated content, I have attempted to offer actual insight and possible cures for some problems that plague our society, such as EMDR therapy.

If Dr. Phil knew what he was doing, he would offer the same methods. But, alas, he doesn't even know of the possible cures I discuss. Combined with a short exposé of the McGraw family and its shady dealings at the end of the book, perhaps we can finally put Dr. Phil out to pasture for good.
