I find it pretty worrying that both of them appear under some kind of banner marked 'psychologist' when really they are just giving their personal opinions like a regular panelist.

Fair enough they don't like Jim/Dexter/Aaron whoever but they really went for it tonight with uncomfortable amounts of bias, cheap shots and insults - no real psychological overview as you'd hope from the 'psych' show.

They had none of the fairness, balance, consideration, grace or eloquence of other psychologists such as Diane Youdale, Dr Funke etc. And certainly none of the sense of humour that those other psychologists have.

Kate accused Jim of being an all out liar - 'it's in his narrow eyes and stiff arms! ' ?? WTF?
I've never heard such a load of rubbish. This is not psychology, this is just daft (and slightly spiteful) personal opinion making dressed up as psychology.

I don't mind such opinions from a regular panelist or audience member but from a 'psychologist' i'd expect better.

These people should come with a warning. Rachel Morris made the comment that Luisa looking at Jim was like looking in the mirror. How dare she say that without qualifying exactly what aspect of their psyche/personality/behaviour she was describing.

Luisa: mid 20s, single, dynamic, liberated, shy, mouthy, funny, playful, feminine, girly, emotional, loyal, peace-maker/negotiator, attention-seeker, truthful, party animal, bonded easily and quickly with Linda, etc.

Jim: 60s, alpha male, addict, anger issues, snappy, funny, masculine, unreadable, sly, cunning, clever, formerly abusive & bullying spouse, clashed badly with Linda.

Mirror images? I don't think so.
