While the talking-head segments are Frank Lawlis' most visible contribution to the show, more important is his behind-the-scenes input, acting as Dr. Phil's guru
Frank Lawlis is a longtime adviser and mentor to the King of Daytime TV, but his practices have been deemed potentially dangerous by the scientific community:"It's predatory on people who are desperate."
While the talking-head segments are Lawlis' most visible contribution to the show, more important is his behind-the-scenes input, acting as the guru's guru. In coordination with producers, Lawlis vets would-be guests with psychological problems, consults with McGraw on how to advise them during their segments , examines the thorniest cases at his Texas clinic and helps coordinate treatment at favored rehab facilities.
In another incident at a medical facility in Fort Worth, Texas, he constructed a saltwater floatation tank for patient use that soon leaked into the cardiac intensive care unit below. "It turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened," Lawlis remembers. "I walked in, expecting to be fired, and the chief of staff said, 'Frank, don't make anything! If you want something made, we'll do it for you!' He did — and it was beautiful.
