That man is not a Doctor.

He has a Doctorate.

Interesting fact: the American Psychological Association de-registered him. So he cannot practice as a Psychologist.

They deserve some sort of award for that.

Well, well, if Loremaster hasn't taken on the form of my ancient foe . . .

Are you talking about the Tennanat av?
I'm rendered speechless and was going to post about it in the new Doctor Who thread...

He's done it before (as I successfully made him see the light about the brilliance of Tennant), but never while I've had this av.

*hanging head*

...as I have yet to see any Tennant stories, I must admit I have no idea who is depicted in your av, Montressor, even though it has affected my dreams...

The Master looks effeminate.

Ah...
Anthony Ainley.
Now him I've met and communicated with.
He was the "Master" of Ceremonies of the Omnicon costume contest I chaired.
Such a gentleman.

OK. I now know who.
I just have to find out...how.

...'tis amazing how this thread morphed from Dr. Phil to The Master...

i voted no, though i don't have a really good reason. i've not watched his show much. i wasn't impressed with how he handled the whole brittany spears thing but i have high expectations for health care professionals and breaches of confidentiality especially when it comes to mental illness. i guess dr phil isn't exactly a health care professional, but dammit, he plays one on TV. :) well, i guess i had a good enough reason, eh? LOL

(and i know, i know...no one has any sympathy for brittany but i myself being the daughter of a mom who was bipolar, i tend to have a bit more sympathy for brittany than i would've had otherwise. i am glad my mom wasn't famous and didn't have her many ambulance rides to the psych hospital televised).

Please g-ds...no.

...sorry Sea...my fault...

As far as Dr. Phil goes, I was never a fan. But when he did a show a few years ago featuring a teen supposedly with Beorn's disorder, I tuned in.

...Oh...My...G-ds...
If Mama Bear had been latent prior to that show, she would have had her first incarnation. Fortunately, I had learned to advocate properly for Beorn a few years before.

IMO, not only was said teen totally mishandled by Dr. Phil and his staff, but he never had a chance from the get go from what was shown of the way his parents treated him.

Never again.
I never tuned into the show again.

I don't care about Dr. Phil one way or the other.
