Her interview on bbc last month was full of husky-voiced self-pity and dewy gazes from a coquettishly down-tucked head. But there wasn't the slightest awareness that her problems go beyond an adulterous husband and an emotionally disabled mother-in-law.

The preaching--delivered alternately by the studio audience, the host and the ever present guest therapist--is relentless. "This is wrong to do this," Sally Jessy tells a cheating husband. "Feel bad?" Geraldo asks the girl who stole her best friend's boyfriend, "Any sense of remorse?" The expectation is that the sinner, so hectored, will see her way to reform.
