I don't think Dr. Phil gave them any advise. He told them their problem but WHAT TO DO?????
He did help them. It took a whole show to identify the issues, then he got both families to commit to professional counseling. One day was not going to fix these folks. They need many sessions with a professional, alone, and as a group. And that was the culmination of the show. That's actually more realistic than the families that appear to get "fixed up" in one show. I thought is was a very hopeful and promising ending. I hope they all followed through like they said they would!
