Dr. Millepieds
Dr. Jean-Michel Millepieds is the French psychiatrist who treats Daria at Quiet Ivy, in the episode "Psycho Therapy." Dr. Millepieds exhibits genuine concern for Daria and comes to appreciate her take on her family's problems, a reversal of the staff's original plans for her. (She was originally believed to be mentally unsound because of the sarcastic way she filled out a questionnaire.)
The MTV website has a monologue by Dr. Millepieds that is quite revealing. It reads: "Greetings to you. I am Dr. Jean-Michel Millepieds, an accredited psychiatrist (in my native France, which also means I am licensed to practice cosmetic acupuncture and pull teeth) specializing in family dynamics, couples therapy, and homeopathic hypnosis for weight loss. In all my years of practice, I have never seen such a fecund display of bizarre interpersonal dynamics as among the couples featured in Daria--and that includes my years spent living among the Bonobo monkeys. I am more than happy to offer my professional diagnostic opinion in the hopes that others will be inspired to stay far away from these people." Per "Psycho Therapy," he also knows hypnosis and past-life regression.
