The popular psychologist pioneered the television advice show in the 1950s, opening the airwaves to discussions of love, marriage and parenting, as well as such taboo subjects as menopause, frigidity, impotence and sexual enjoyment. She went on to become an author, syndicated advice columnist and TV and film personality, setting the stage for today's one-named TV doctors. Brothers died Monday of respiratory failure in New York City, according to her longtime publicist, Sanford Brokaw. She was 85. Phil McGraw called Brothers "a pioneer in the field of mental health." ::snipping3:: (http://media.onlinesentinel.com/images/300*406/Obit-Joyce+Brothers_Acco(1).jpg) (http://media.onlinesentinel.com/images/300*223/Obit-Joyce+Brothers_Acco.jpg) |
