TAMPA - Celebrity addictions specialist Drew Pinsky - famous for preppy attire, wire-rimmed glasses and scholarly answers to difficult questions - said he is willing to come to Tampa to help fallen "American Idol" contestant Jessica Sierra.
Before her Dec. 1 arrest, Sierra had completed taping for a new VH1 show, "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew." The reality show is expected to air in January.
Sierra has remained jailed since her arrest. Her next court date is Dec. 20.
"I have made myself available," Pinsky told the Tribune on Wednesday. "If I can get her to a therapeutic environment, court-ordered, it would be a good thing for her."
Pinsky said he is discussing with Sierra's attorney, John Fitzgibbons, whether his help is necessary. "I haven't got plane tickets yet."
According to police reports, Sierra, 22, was kicked out of Full Moon Saloon in Ybor City and then harassed patrons on the street. When police intervened, she became combative, they said. In a police car, reports state, she vomited, cursed, yelled racial slurs and offered a sexual favor to an officer if he would release her.
The arrest, police said, violated Sierra's probation for an April incident at Hyde Park Cafe. Sierra was charged with cocaine possession and felony battery. Police said she hit a man with a bar glass. At first, Sierra said the man spit on her. She later said she might have mistaken him for someone else. Sierra pleaded no contest.
Pinsky said Sierra was "courageous" as a patient while taping the reality show. Addictions are difficult to overcome, he said. "Sometimes, you have to re-treat and re-treat and re-treat."
Pinsky said the perception of Sierra, and of a reality show based on rehabilitation, will change when people see the show.
Sierra, he said, was "on the street" doing drugs before seeking treatment. He said she made some "very poor choices," including a video he described as symptomatic of her addiction. He and Sierra discuss the video during therapy on the reality show. TMZ.com reports a major porn company is preparing to distribute a Sierra "sex tape."
Pinsky made a name for himself as host of the radio call-in show "Loveline," which became an MTV show. He is a medical correspondent for "The Today Show" and "The View." In Pasadena, Calif., he heads the chemical dependency department at Las Encinas Hospital and runs a private recovery program.

If she were treated like you and I, the police report, phone calls, etc. wouldn't have been released to the media in what amounts to a minor case and neither of us would be commenting on this story as though she was some horrific criminal who terrorized children, committed murder, or otherwise intentionally harmed anyone. She needs consequences for her out of control actions but she also needs help. If Dr. Drew can provide that, more power to him. He doesn't remotely need the attention; he already has a national show.
Reality therapy is to act now with a kind of approach, its important features, including the following items:
Denying the reality of the concept of mental illness:
He assumed that the various forms of behavioral disorders are irresponsible or demand failed to reach results. This means no psychological diagnosis, and mental illness is as irresponsible behavior, and mental health equivalent to responsible behavior.
Reality therapy to act now rather than emotion and attitude:
Reality therapy is not ignored emotion and attitude, but stressed that now acts understanding. The treatment did not depend on a change of attitude to understand. But that change in behavior, attitudes changed.
Now for the reality that without attention to the past:
Because a person can not change the past has been fixed, so can be changed, only now and the future. If the need to be discussed in the treatment of the past , and the parties should now acts. Treatment for the parties now in all aspects of life, will be required to be exploratory, including hope, fear and value.n
Reality therapy focused on the strength of the parties, potential success and positive qualities, not only talk about the unfortunate symptoms. Glasser advocates, the parties should be regarded as a broad potential of ordinary people, and not just a problem to its patients and therefore he did not support a waste of time to pursue the issue with the failure and recommend treatment to explore the strengths of the parties. Should During the talks, strengthening such strengths, as for repeat the past history and exploration, he seen as useless.
Reality therapy that value judgment:
It attached particular importance to the role played by the parties, the nature of their own judgment to decide in the end what factors caused the failure of their life. Unless the parties can determine their constructive or destructive behavior, or the system will not produce any changes. If the parties are able to get to know their acts of self-inflicted injury and can not be are asking for things, then positive change will have occurred. Because he will decide: The current approach is impractical, perhaps try other ways more appropriate.
Emotional stress is not the reality of the transfer:
The emotional shift its traditional concept does not attach any importance, even as the transfer of emotion that used to maintain personal identity to a secret manner. Reality therapy treatment must be requested from the sincere, and the parties do not have to play the role of parents. Glasser that the parties do not want unsuccessful experience of the past history repeats itself, but the need in the present life to meet with people in the interaction. Treatment with parties from the establishment of a personal and sincere relations, to help them finish now needs.
The reality of the sense of personality that level rather than a subconscious level:
According to the theory of psychoanalysis: in the subconscious understanding and insight, personality change is a prerequisite. Thus emotional stress transfer, Dream Analysis, free association and resistance on impact analysis techniques to the subconscious in the conflict.n
However, the reality is emphasized by the treatment: the parties in the end went wrong What happened? Why did not properly provided? How should by virtue of their practical and responsible for the foundation to plan successful? Therefore, the views of the two sides are very great difference. Reality therapy detailed asked the parties present living conditions, and assume that sooner or later they will meet the demand for notes that those who blocked the awareness of behavior.n
So reality therapy claim: that the subconscious, that is, to avoid the central issue of irresponsible parties, and give him a pretext to evade the real. Of course understand very significance, but the reality is that the treatment does not have a change of the important factors. For those puzzled people fascinated by the phenomenon of introspection, realistic treatment is not treat it as one thing.
Reality therapy has not considered punishment:
Glasser ideas, not to punish behavior change, the parties will only increase the sense of the failure of integration, and will also harm the relations between the treatment. He also opposed the use of contempt for the language and rhetoric sharp rebuttal parties, as this is a form of punishment. Usually by experience instead of punishment, that is, acts of the clients to experience the natural result. For example, because of failure to comply with commitments, we can not enjoy the reward.
Reality therapy emphasize responsibility
The so-called responsibility, according to Glasser s explanation: It is an ability to meet the needs of individuals, and shall be without prejudice to others to meet the demand manner. Sense of responsibility is a lifelong learning process. Although everyone has the demand for love and loved, but also a keen sense of value, but we do not have this innate ability to meet demand.n
Included in the real sense of responsibility to learn how to achieve demand. In short, the individual has been responsible for the Institute refers to effectively control their lives. Glasser advocated: We must learn to correct the mistakes of its own, when we do the time to trust our own. When a person acts tarnished and can not meet their own standards, they must be evaluated with a view to be improved.n
Therefore, the reality of the core components including ethics, standards, values and right and wrong behavior, and self-values because they meet the needs of an association. According to Glasser s views, responsible people between its words and deeds, the people tend to have a value of the others are feeling.
