      He has a doctorate in clinical psychology. The same degree my wife has who works with patients. Her patients refer to her as Dr because that is what she has earned

          The title Dr belongs to anyone who has a doctorate. I called all my professors in college Dr and they were all historians without a license to practice anything. The title goes with the degree, not any certification to practice.

          To be clear, Dr Phil is a piece of shit. But he is a Doctor.
