"We have an ethical responsibility to warn the public about Donald Trump's dangerous mental illness," said Dr. John Gartner, a practicing psychotherapist who advised psychiatric residents at Johns Hopkins University Medical School and who has in the past warned Trump is a "psychiatric Frankenstein monster."
Gartner and other psychiatrists at the conference argued that Trump suffers from a particularly malignant case of pathological narcissism, which makes him a danger to the country and the world.
"Worse than just being a liar or a narcissist, in addition he is paranoid, delusional and grandiose thinking and he proved that to the country the first day he was president," Gartner explained. "If Donald Trump really believes he had the largest crowd size in history, that's delusional."
Dr. James Gilligan, a psychiatrist and professor at New York University, said that Trump's erratic behavior has similarly disturbed him despite the fact that he has lots of experience working with violent convicted criminals.
"I've worked with murderers and rapists, I can recognize dangerousness from a mile away," he said. "You don't have to be an expert on dangerousness or spend fifty years studying it like I have in order to know how dangerous this man is."

Soviets! Some of us have memories and this is scary.
Aren’t the pillars of ethics as follow?
-Comment only on patients and cases that are actually yours
-Patients and cases that are actually yours are confidential so keep your damn mouth shut about them
-Practicing anonymous long-distance medicine is quackery
Violation of the APA code of ethics, specifically the “Goldwater Rule” defined in “Principles of Medical Ethics With Annotations Especially Applicable to Psychiatry”.
No psychiatrist worth his couch would diagnose a patient like this. It borders on malpractice.
I wonder how many convicts he has gotten to recommend release to society who later committed additional crimes. What's his W-L record?
We’ve had some pretty great presidents who were pathological narcissists.
Right he’s a psychotic narcissist who somehow manages to be extremely gracious and polite to everyone he meets and often praises others. Can anyone think of worse obnoxious self centered jerks than liberals?
Like most liberals, they are projecting. ;-)
Quack QuackQuackQuack... Quack
Dear doctor, compare number of personal pronouns used in any random obama speech versus the most personal pronoun ridden trump speech. Get back to me about narcissim at your convenience
Not illegal, but a violation of the APA code of ethics, so he could be reprimanded or lose his membership.
Why would a professional compare a narcissist to rapists and murderers?
Liberals consider all conservatives to be nazi racist misogynist killers.
The Goldwater rule is the informal name for a precept of medical ethics promulgated by the American Psychiatric Association. It forbids psychiatrists from commenting on individuals' mental state without examining them personally and being authorized by the person to make such comments. The rule has no official name; it is simply Section 7.3 of the APA's ethics principles.
Now we shall see whether the APA will uphold its own standards and subject this individual to sanctions.
You’re just not hanging around the right echo chambers. :)
