Did Tx St Bd discipline Dr. Phil for sleeping w. a patient?
(re # 630's & 640's posts by vlpate and believe09 et al)
Short answer = NO.
Based on wiki & footnotes, linking to what appear to be legit attachments of Tx bd. produced documents in 1988,
I see no reference to sexual or intimate physical Dr-Pt contact, at least in that disciplinary matter.
The st bd's findings of fact, conclusions of law, and order are set forth in these 3 pages in 3 links, per footnotes 13, 14, & 15:

If the above links do not work,
[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_McGraw"]Phil McGraw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] or google wiki dr. phil,
then scroll down to footnotes 13, 14, 15, and click on links.
Wiki summarizes:
"The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists determined on October 21, 1988, that McGraw had hired a former patient for "part-time temporary employment".[13] Specifically the Board cited "a possible failure to provide proper separation between termination of therapy and the initiation of employment"[14] and issued a letter of reprimand and imposed administrative penalties.[15]"
As to the 'sleeping-with' claim in above posts, wiki continues:
"The Board also investigated claims made by the patient of inappropriate contact initiated by McGraw, but the "Findings of Fact" document issued by the Board on October 21, 1988, at the end of its investigation, includes no reference to any physical contact of any kind. It specifically identified "the therapeutic and business relationships" as constituting McGraw's sole issue with the Board.[15" BBM, IBM
Dr. Phil's Tx license
Wiki also links to the Tx bd's Sept. 2006 letter --
--ackowledging receipt of Dr. Phil's request to retire his license as psychologist and
--stating his request was reviewed and granted.

Again, you can link to doc's at wiki dr. phil.
