No president in the history of the United States has inspired more alarm and confusion than Donald Trump. As questions and concerns about his decisions, behavior, and qualifications for office have multiplied, they point to one primary question: Does he pose a genuine threat to our country? The American Psychiatric Association’s Goldwater Rule constrains psychiatrists from offering diagnoses on public figures who are not patients and who have not endorsed such statements. But in Trump on the Couch Clinical Professor of Psychiatry Justin A Frank invokes the moral responsibility that compels him to speak out and present a full portrait of a man who presents us with a clear and present danger.
Using observations gained from a close study of Trump’s patterns of thought, action, and communication, Dr. Frank uncovers a personality riddled with mental health issues. His analysis is filled with important revelations about our nation’s leader, including disturbing insights into his childhood, his family, his business dealings, and his unusual relationship with alternative facts, including how
* The absence of a strong maternal force during childhood has led to Trump’s remarkable lack of empathy and disregard for women’s boundaries;
* His compulsion to polarize America has grown out of the way he perceives the world as full of deceitful and destructive persecutors;
* His inability to tolerate the pain of frustration has triggered his belief that omnipotence will finally remove it;
* His idiosyncratic use of language points to larger issues than even his tweets might suggest.
With our country itself at stake, Dr. Frank calls attention to the underlying narcissism, misogyny, deception, and racism that drive the President who endangers it. A penetrating examination of how we as a nation got here and, more important, where we are going, Trump on the Couch sounds a call to action that we cannot ignore.

Criminal malpractice, nothing more.

Looks interesting.

The author seems to be setting aside the crucial Goldwater Rule based on tenuous expediency.
As if this critical professional constraint does not apply to him.
Rather than being in a therapeutic relationship, from which he could draw relatively reliable conclusions, he extrapolates ironclad judgments based on Trump’s appearances in the media.
He fancifully imagines that he can conjure “a full portrait” by watching his television and perusing social media.
Wonderfully inane and bizarre. Thanks sartre!

No one needs to abide by the Goldwater rule to see every single day that the subject is a petulant, vindictive, misogynistic, narcissistic, thin skinned, pathological liar.
Despite the caesar963 bizarre assertion that what we see and hear every day, we are not seeing and hearing.
Sounds like something the subject would tell the people at his ego stroking rallies, paid for by the taxpayers.

Not a Trump fan, but Ceasar makes an excellent point. What kind of medical professional makes a diagnosis based solely on what’s seen on the news.
I feel sorry for his patients, assuming he actually has some.

rick - we’re all subjectively seeing and hearing what we see and hear each day. In a mediated, artificial, contrived kind of way. Framed by the media, who have become part of the problem, rather than occupying their proper role as impartial observers.
And professional clinicians are supposed to have critical distance, but the vastness of this guy’s distance makes an actual diagnosis impossible. It’s just evidence of more silliness. His claims are objectively absurd for this reason.
Also, I’m in full agreement with TotallyDisenfranchised, I’m not remotely a Trump supporter, but I’m making a separate point about the author’s fatuous presumption.
I mean, come on, “a full portrait” my fundament.

I am not speaking as a professional anything.
There is nothing subjective, artificial or contrived in regards to seeing and hearing the subject in action, in real time.
The same for reading his tweets in real time.
None of the above has been altered, or framed by the media, all they provide is the camera to allow me to view, they do not alter.
As for a professional diagnosis, we are not deaf dumb and blind, we do not need the language being spoken to be translated, we do not need to know why the subject is a petulant, vindictive, misogynistic, narcissistic, thin skinned, pathological liar.
It is enough to know that he is.
Being able to see that on our own, with no middle man, makes it even more important.
The press is not the enemy of the American people.
The subject is.

My comments have nothing to do with the author, beyond saying no one needs to be a medical professional to see exactly what the subject is.
As I said I do not care why he is what he is, only that I can see what he is on my own. So if I, and millions more can, then why deny that the author can.
If the proof of what he is was based only on talking heads discussing the subject on tv, or reading editorial pages, then I would agree that my belief is based on possibly artificial, contrived facts.
But when I am able to watch uncut real time broadcasts of what the subject says and does, including tweets the instant they arrive on his feed, what I see is the absolute truth.
For instance standing next to Putin saying he does not believe the intelligence reports that Russia interfered with 2016 elections, then two minutes later Putin says yes twice when asked by a reporter if he wanted the subject to win, and if he interfered with our elections.
Today he is sticking up for another of his dictator BFFs the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. We know the subject does not consider chopping up a reporter from the Washington Post a bad idea. He has pretty much said you can murder anyone you want if you say you like me. If Canada had does this, stealth bombers would have already struck that loser, mean to subject, Justin Trudeau.

What can I say but wow, you actually follow Trump’s asinine tweets. Step outside and get a breath of fresh air once in a while. Read (or listen) to books other than political orientated material, because your fixation is unhealthy.
Of course, I’m not a doctor of medicine or psychiatry/psychology so take my advice for what it’s worth.
Enjoy your day.

Rick, I know this doesn’t fit your narrative, but here’s a few questions for you.
1) Why should Trump risk US/Saudi relations for a journalist that was not a US citizen?
2) Why is he responsible for pursuing this issue, and what authority does he have when the supposed murder took place in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul Turkey?
3) What are the implications to the US citizens and the US economy if the royal Saudi family decides to jack around with oil prices over this, or in a more extreme vain, commit acts of terrorism in response to Trump’s possible response? Remember 19 of the 20 terrorists from 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia.
Trump is a fool in how he speaks and often acts. But, the vast majority of the media has only been telling one side of the story (in this and others) since he was nominated. Here’s a tip for you if you are an American citizen. Go vote in November, and again in 2020. Hopefully the DNC won’t nominate (read rig) such a pathetic candidate as they did in the last Presidential election.
If you’re not an American citizen, well what can I say other than sorry, we feel your pain, get over it.

I believe you may be right in all you say about Trump, rick - but they are merely our beliefs, they cannot constitute an objective diagnosis. That’s the point here. Media editing and editorialising still have a huge influence on what people believe in relation to this area (in practice, they do provide a lot more than a camera - they have 24 dramatic hours to fill). The author is cheerfully bandwagoneering, he is fully aware that he isn’t able to diagnose the subject, because it isn’t his subject. However, not all of his readers/listeners will realise this fact.
Also, politics is performative, who you are is not necessarily reflected in an outlandish tweet, or a grotesque statement/press conference, whether we witness them in real time or in an edited format. Politics has always been an act and Trump is an experienced performer/”entertainer” - this makes any pretence of an objective diagnosis additionally ludicrous. The author isn’t being frank with his readers. This is just another arm of the entertainment industry, not truly incisive or enlightening. Part of the obscuring fog.

rick11 is 100% correct, it funny to people say things like “this doesn’t fit your narrative” when they clearly are the ones pushing a narrative. All I can say to these people is “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
October 25th, 2018
@lapis1701 - that quote could equally be applied to a dubious clinician who spuriously claims that he can supply an objective medical/psychological diagnosis on a person who is not actually his patient. It’s not about narratives, rather it’s about fraudulent, unsupported claims and assertions.
All it takes is a logical, rational appraisal of those claims. Heated emotion is a poor guide in this regard.
