Dr. Phil calls himself a "Life Strategist"; he is a psychologist whose hard-hitting approach flies in the face of most traditional psychotherapies, such as psychoanalysis. Identifying unconscious conflicts, endlessly exploring feelings, and getting in touch with one's inner child amount to hogwash for this pragmatic Texan, who defines success according to results. To paraphrase him, the world doesn't give a whit about your thoughts or intentions--only your actions count.

While Dr. Phil must ruffle the feathers of old-world Freudians, he is likely smiled upon by cognitive-behavioral therapists. Phil has made his living by studying human behavior and applying what he knows to get people where they want to go. Essentially, he combines cognitive and behavioral methods, along with a heavy dose of empathic confrontation. Because Phil doesn't have all day (or an extended course of treatment) to ease you into the realization that you have a problem that needs fixing, he cuts to the chase: get real with yourself, define what you really want, and make that change NOW. Not next year, not tomorrow--NOW. The behavioral techniques he uses are based on knowledge of operant conditioning; if you do something and there is a payoff, the behavior is likely to be repeated, whereas if there is pain, it is likely to be avoided. Identify your payoff for the behavior you want, and then take control. If you control the payoff, you control the behavior. Phil also uses the cognitive therapy approach, encouraging you to take your distortion lenses off and get a realistic look at yourself and your life. Identify your limiting beliefs, correct them, and you, too, can be a winner.

Dr. Phil McGraw's Approach in Practice Therapy in Dr. Phil's behavioral approach is available to you, whether you choose to use his techniques to diet and lose weight or to otherwise improve your life. If you like Dr. Phil's ideas, books and approach, but need some guidance and help getting started, then Dr. Allison Conner may be the therapist for you. Allison, Conner, Psy.D., is a licensed Psychologist and has been helping clients by using cognitive-behavioral therapy since 1994. In addition to her doctoral training and years of experience, Dr. Conner is a LearnDrPhil Associate Therapist, having completed the courses that teach the LearnDrPhil approach. Dr. Conner blends the best of cognitive-behavioral therapy with the pragmatic and focused Dr.Phil approach in the process of helping clients to identify or define their problems and to develop strategies for overcoming challenges, feeling better and improving their lives. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been around for a few decades, and the research consistently shows its effectiveness in combating psychological conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, phobias, low self-esteem, and OCD, among others. By identifying distortions in thinking, problematic core beliefs, and self-defeating patterns of behavior, CBT practitioners can help you to correct them and devise plans for alleviating painful feelings and enhancing the quality of your life. Behavioral therapy can also be used to combat eating disorders and weight issues. It's more than a diet, its a change in behavior. Dr. Phil and others who use CBT aim to help you to identify the problem, set a goal, come up with a strategy, work your plan, and reap the rewards. The only question is: are you ready?
