Understanding Madmen: A DSM-IV Assessment of Adolf Hitler
Frederick L. Coolidge*, Felicia L. Davis, & Daniel L. Segal University of Colorado at Colorado Springs
ABSTRACT - Adolf Hitler’s personality was investigated posthumously through the use of an informant version of the Coolidge Axis II Inventory (CATI), which is designed for the assessment of personality, clinical, and neuropsychological disorders. Five academic Hitler historians completed the CATI. The overall mean inter-rater correlation was moderately high for all 38 CATI scales’ T scores (median r = .72). On Axis I, the highest mean T scores across raters were Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (76), Psychotic Thinking (73) and Schizophrenia (69). On Axis II, the highest mean T scores on the CATI scales were Paranoid Personality Disorder (78), Antisocial Personality Disorder (78), Narcissistic Personality Disorder (77), and Sadistic Personality Disorder (76). Results of the present study support the reliability and preliminary validity of informant reports for psychological investigations of historical or contemporary figures.

==> In essence, a vanity. Curious about any insights it sparks.
We do need a Daily WH Thread!
Carney is to Obama what Goebbels was to Hitler: “Minister of Propaganda.”
May I suggest a “Spin Index?”
A Spin Index for a lie that contains the phrase “waiting for all the facts to be gathered” will be rated as a One Goebbels.
A Two Goebbels would be for a lie that contains the phrase “make sure that it never happens again.”
A Three Goebbels would be awarded to a lie that contains the phrase “I don’t know.”
Each time a lie is repeated by the Minister of Propaganda it receives an Oak Cluster.
BTW, the Goebbels Rule is “If a lie is repeated loud enough and often enough, then eventually the people will come to believe it.”
Both Hitler and Obama were/are loud and repetitive orators.
Obamanation would be nothing if US President Valerie Jarrett had not used the Goebbels Rule to perfection.
It can be taught to people.
Our public school system over the last 30 or so years have been doing a great job at producing people who have dulled consciences that can easily slip into psychopathy.
What do we do when an entire group within a presidential administration act as if they have no conscience?
Here is my view on the insanity of Obamanation and the sorry RINO response to it:
The key to understanding Obamaspeak is to understand that Obama is self-delusional.
Obama truly believes that reality can be created just by him saying so.
I call these statements Obamalies.
Hence, when Obama wants something to be true, all he has to do is say the words and reality will be created around them.
In this manner Obama is capable of protecting himself from REALITY that you and I recognize, but is unrecognizable to Obama.
On a recent Monday at his presser, Obama shed a rare tear as he momentarily recognized that his reality was not our REALITY.
US President Valerie Jarrett makes sure that Obama always reads from her scripted teleprompter, or sticks to her scripted talking points.
Thus, minimizing Obama’s self-delusional, private outbursts of the warped reality that only Obama knows - - - .

In the failed world of Communism, all functions of a Society are controlled by a Central Government.
Our Central Federal Government has been easily taken over by Obama to the gleeful cheers of MSNBC and others in the Liberal Agenda Media.
This is as good a time as any to take note of those who have willingly enabled the blatant Communist ideas and programs of Obama to take hold in our Central Federal Government.
It is also a good time to take note of the many dictatorial powers that our sorry US Congress from “both” political parties have granted over many decades to the Administration Branch and related Bureaus of our Central Federal Government.
Just to balance our income with our spending, the Central Federal Government must reduce spending by 40 percent.
The longer we wait to “cut our way to prosperity” and repeal and abolish Federal Regulations, the greater our financial debt and less Liberty we will have.
For example, if Central Federal Government Regulations were reduced by 40 percent, our Society would be 40 percent further removed from control by the Central Federal Government.
Currently, there are four, (Benghazi Cowardice, IRS Tyranny, AP-Gate, and Rosen-Gate), major Impeachable Scandals that our sorry RINOs could use to remove Obama from our Central, semi-Communist, Federal Government.
My question is: “Do our sorry Congressional RINOs have the POLITICAL MOTIVATION to Impeach and Remove B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, a legal citizen of Indonesia?”

Obama always exposes his fear by accusing others of what he is already doing to them.
Obama knows that that which will undo him is what he should fear the most.
As a smokescreen defense he accuses others of what he is doing, and hopes to put them on defense so that he can continue doing to them what he fears that they will do to him.
For example, we should politicize, demonstrate strong political motivation, speak and behave in the most un-PC manner, bicker, argue, unseal his flunking University grades, place all his staff under oath, place Obama under oath and IMEACH and REMOVE Obama and his Commie pals.
The responsibility of an opposition party is to provide a check and a balance on the other political party.
Hence, it is time for Republicans to shed their sorry RINO skins and have a good old-fashioned, rip-roaring, verbal thrashing of the tyrannical Obamanation.
To rise within the Federal government these days it seems that there are two requirements, and only two:
1. You must be a Globalist or Statist (preferably both)
2. You must have mastered the fine art of lying and dissembling.
I am getting tired of this law lecturer getting on the network feeds and yelling at me. Short of turning it off, this has to stop. The latest “security speech” had so many twists, turns, ups, downs, and switch-backs, it felt like the bus ride up to Eagle’s Nest in Berchtesgaden.
Look at the Milgram experiments. The Democrats used a room full of sociologists and psychologists to advise them during the last election. These would be people who were all extremely knowledgeable about the Milgram experiments. The dirty little fascists knew that stuff was dangerous, but used it to win an election.
Comparisons to the likes of Stalin,Mao,Che Guevera are the illustrative ones.Comparisons to Hitler are a waste of time.
They all have more in common than not, IMO.
International Socialist, National Socialist - simply two sides of the same coin: same tactics, same outcomes for their populations.

HEY, Felecia! Yeah, YOU!
You wrote: “ - - - One method of reliability that might have enhanced the present findings would have been to contact Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers. - - - “
Yah think?
Hitler was as popular in Third Reich Germany as B. Hussein is in Obamanation USA.
Neither tyrant could exist for one minute without “support from the people.”
Fast forward to today and determine who B. Hussein’s sympathizers and deniers are.
Use Chrissy Matthews from MSNBC as your standard of support.
It’s Memorial Day Weekend so my wishes for everyone to have a Happy Holiday go out.
The evil in man is not something that can be eliminated. It is controlled. It is subdued.
It would therefore seem that a society that tolerates more evil, gets more evil.
Valerie is just one of the ever growing 'staff' of usurpers.
Carney is to Obama what Goebbels was to Hitler: “Minishitte of Propaganda.”
Mega or Minni?

My main amazement is how gullible the Congressional RINOs have been.
B. Hussein Obama/Soetoro is a dyed in the wool Communist, and our gullible RINOs do not realize it - - - - .
“Comparisons to Hitler are a waste of time.”
Hitler was just another leftist.
http://ray-dox.blogspot.com/2006/08/this-article-is-published-on-internet.html
And leftists are just facsimiles of Hitler. They know that. That’s why “Godwin’s Law” - so they don’t get called out, when they should get called out and summarily hanged.
No one will ever understand Hitler, IMO.
Obama, on the other hand, is fairly simple - he’s nothing more nor less than an intellectually mediocre, addled clown with delusions of grandeur.
