Description

The Dangerous Case Of Donald Trump The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump is a 2017 book by Bandy Lee. In the book, 27 psychologists, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals assess US President Donald Trump's mental health based on his speech and behavior over the long course of his public life, and conclude that he is a serious danger to the country and the world. They argue that the president's mental health is affecting the mental health of the people of the United States[1] and that he places the country at grave risk of involving it in a war and of undermining democracy itself because of his pathological narcissism and sociopathy. Consequently, Trump's presidency represents an emergency not only allowing, but perhaps also requiring, psychiatrists to deviate from the Goldwater rule, which holds that it is unethical for psychiatrists to give professional opinions about public figures without examining them in person.[2] In a blog post republished on Salon in September 2017, journalist Bill Moyers wrote that "[t]here will not be a book published this fall more urgent, important, or controversial than The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump."[3] A Washington Post reviewer wrote, "The stand these psychiatrists are taking takes courage, and their conclusions are compelling [4]. Estelle Freedman, the Robinson Professor in U.S. History at Stanford University, said of the book: This insightful collection is grounded in historical consciousness of the ways professionals have responded to fascist leaders and unstable politicians in the past. It is a valuable primary source documenting the critical turning point when American psychiatry reassessed the ethics of restraining commentary on the mental health of public officials in light of the "duty to warn" of imminent danger. Medical and legal experts thoughtfully assess diagnoses of Trump's behavior and astutely explore how to scrutinize political candidates, address client fears, and assess the 'Trump Effect' on our social fabric.

Psychiatrists Weigh In, The Washington Post, September 22, 2017 Donald Trump Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current President of the United States, in office since January 20, 2017.

He earned an economics degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. A third-generation businessman, Trump followed in the footsteps of his grandmother Elizabeth and father Fred in running the family real estate company. He served as chairman and president of The Trump Organization from 1971 until his inauguration as president in January 2017, when he delegated company management to his sons Donald Jr. and Eric. Trump's business career primarily focused on building or renovating office towers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump also started several side ventures and branded various products with his name. He is credited as having written or co-written several books (including The Art of the Deal), and produced and hosted The Apprentice television series for 12 years. As of 2017, he was the 544th richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $3.5 billion.
