A court-appointed psychiatrist has advised that Christie Brinkley attend therapy as "an outlet for her anger and feeling of betrayal" to deal with the pain of her four failed marriages.
Dr. Stephen Herman took the stand in Brinkley's divorce trial and also advised that Brinkley be awarded sole custody of the couple's two children.
"She needs to
start working on therapy issues related to her parenting, maybe her
choice in male figures with whom to get involved, certain motivations
she has herself that can get her into trouble."
Brinkley agreed to seek therapy. She testified, "I'm not sure that I'm a huge fan of psychotherapy. But
if Dr. Herman feels strongly about it, I would do whatever it takes to
convince the court that I'm willing to make whatever changes they deem
necessary."
He said: "Certainly, the father's behaviour in this marriage has been
terribly destructive and apparently continues to be... Brinkley had
historically been a more stabilising force in the lives of these
children... Joint custody is out of the question."
Both Brinkley and Cook are appealing for sole custody of their two kids Jack 13, and Sailor, 10.
