Psychiatry professors call on Congress to impeach Trump

If you ever have need of the services of a psychiatrist, I would strongly recommend you select one besotted with liberal ideology. First of all, you'd save a ton of money. That's because liberal psychiatrists are blessed with the gift of being able to diagnose you without even having seen you. That means you're consultations need not last very long.

I should warn you, however, that you can be sure that if you're a political conservative, you are likely to be committed to a mental institution.

More than 50 years ago, a psychiatrist published an article that stated flatly GOP candidate Barry Goldwater was crazy. The editor of the publication, Ralph Ginzburg, was sued for libel by Goldwater who subsequently won a $75 K judgement.

And just weeks before election day in 1964, hundreds of psychiatrists and psychologists signed an open letter claiming that Goldwater was unfit psychologically to be president. Ever since then, the American Psychiatric Association has had a policy known as "The Goldwater Rule" that ethically forbids mental health professionals from commenting on the mental state of a public figure they have not examined.

I guess these academic psychiatrists didn't get the memo.

If they have not officially diagnosed him, then all of them are guilty of malpractice.

I smell a lawsuit.

Well, it's only "Academic", so there is that. ;-)

Why Shrinks Have Problems

Suicide, stress, divorce -- psychologists and other mental health professionals may actually be more screwed up than the rest of us.

The sheer quackery that is psychiatry was amply demonstrated by David L. Rosenhan, Ph.D. in 1973 and memorialized in his Science journal article "On Being Sane in Insane Places."

Impeachment is for crimes, not for soothing sore losers.

After years of teaching snowflakes, it’s very east to see why they think Trump is abnormal.

And I hope President Trump sues them for at least $1 billion.

My personal experience with psychiatrists is that a large majority of them go into the field because they need one themselves.

My professional experience with them is 0. Never used one, never felt the need to use one, hope I never have to use one. See above paragraph for my reasoning.

A false impeachment used to seize power should be treated as treason.Everyone involved should end up at the end of a rope.

Interesting! I remember taking several pych courses in college and the attending students all got a kick out of them as when the professors described mental disorders they were describing themselves or their families.

When I was in my early teens I was sort of friends with a guy whose dad was a shrink. This kid was the most screwed up guy I have ever met in my life — before or since.

No impulse control, a little bit sadistic, defiant — no drugs then but I would bat a LOT it happened not too much later.

Probably in prison now.

University of California professor Dee Mosbacher is an incredibly homely lesbian whack-job.
