James Van Praagh on Dr. Phil

Showmeproof said:
Well, considering Dr. Phil is not even a allowed to practice clinical psychology, I do not understand how he has allowed to give psychological advice on his show.

Interesting facts about Dr. Douche, I mean Dr. Phil:

"In 1989, McGraw was sanctioned by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists for an ethical violation involving a 19-year-old patient and employee (see "Criticisms & controversies: Sanctioned for unethical behavior", below). Due to the sanctions, McGraw was unable to practice psychology independently."

"As of 2008, McGraw has not completed the conditions imposed by the Board of Examiners of Psychologists, and he is not licensed to practice psychology in Texas, California, or anywhere else."

"One professional psychologist filed a complaint with the California Board of Psychology alleging that Dr. Phil practiced clinical psychology without a license and violated doctor-patient privilege by discussing Spears' case with the media. He also started a petition to have the Dr. Phil show removed from the air."

Eh, prove Van Praagh is a fraud. Until you do what you're saying is faith.

I've seen the guy on plenty of shows. He seems nice enough and seems to believe what he's doing.

The supernatural has never been proven in a scientific experiment. That says all you need to know about the supernatural.
 
I saw the show. I was afraid that Phil was going to take a line something like 'if it helps the crazy people then I guess its ok'. I did not see him go quite that far, before I switched on Firefly... I missed the ghost thing.

Maybe he thought that if he got these people on his show the audience would figure some of it out.

And pigs fly, film at 11.

Proven is a tough word. It has never even been demonstrated and there has never been any verifiable evidence for it. You would think in the whole history of the mankind there would be a least one incidence of incontrovertible evidence that a phenomena exists if it does, indeed, exist.
