Dr.Phil

Dr. Phil McGraw has galvanized millions of people to "get real" about their own behavior and create more positive lives. Dr. Phil, his syndicated, daily one-hour series, is the second highest-rated daytime talk show in the nation. The show has been making headlines and breaking records since its September 2002 launch, when it garnered the highest ratings of any new syndicated show since the launch of The Oprah Winfrey Show 17 years prior.

This September, when the seventh season of his namesake series premieres, Dr. Phil continues with his "get real" approach to helping guests solve their problems by stripping away their emotional clutter and providing them with the tools they need to move confidently ahead in their lives. Dr. Phil will also continue to champion those who suffer from such silent epidemics as domestic violence, child abuse, depression, racism, substance abuse and other health issues that are prevalent in society, but go largely undiscussed by their victims.

Dr. Phil holds a B.A. from Midwestern State University and an M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from North Texas State University with a dual area of emphasis in clinical and behavioral medicine.

An avid tennis player, golfer and scuba diver, Dr. Phil lives in Los Angeles with his wife Robin. The couple, married for 32 years, has two sons Jay and Jordan.
