What he does on television has done immense damage to understandings of mental health. That bullshit disgusting tough love, while at the same time being a hypocritical creep and serial adulterer. Send his ass to Turnabout Ranch.

Uh, that’s why he is at the top. Do you think pyramid schemes are run by upstanding citizens?

His grift is less “pyramid scheme” and more just saying things people want to hear. You don’t need to pay for your kids to see a therapist, mental illness is just a lack of grit. Things like substance abuse and PTSD can be overcome if you just have enough willpower. The purpose of mental health care is to harangue weirdos into being normal.

That’s the joke, yes. There is no real pyramid scheme with all therapists in the world. With Dr Phil at the top. You are correct.
