Psychologists march through NY to call for Trump's removal

A group of psychologists and mental health professionals on Saturday marched through New York calling for President Trump to be removed from office.

The group — which included more than 100 psychologists and mental health professionals — are pushing for Trump to be ousted from his post, according to The New York Post.

“We can sense the power of Trump’s underlying fear that he is worthless and weak by how intensely he resists and retaliated against any criticism,” said Harry Segal, a Cornell University psychologist.

“No matter how minor, he can’t let anything go.” Michelle Golland, a clinical psychologist, told The New York Post the country is "suffering from his narcissistic personality."

“He has no empathy. You can feel it, the way he spoke about the San Juan mayor," she said. "She has PTSD and our president mistreats her. She is re-victimized. That is a narcissist.”

The march was organized by The Duty to Warn PAC, a group of psychologists that believes Trump has a malignant narcissism, according to Newsweek.

The group planned to hold marches across the country to send a message about Trump, warning that he could start a nuclear war.

Delusional Disorder

Overview

Delusional disorder is an illness characterized by at least 1 month of delusions but no other psychotic symptoms according to the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). [] Delusions are false beliefs based on incorrect inference about external reality that persist despite the evidence to the contrary and these beliefs are not ordinarily accepted by other members of the person's culture or subculture. Delusions can be characterized as persecutory (i.e., belief one is going to be harmed by an individual, organization or group), referential (i.e., belief gestures, comments, or environmental cues are directed at oneself), grandiose (i.e., belief that the individual has exceptional abilities, wealth, or fame), erotomanic (i.e., ani ndividual’s false belief that another individual is in love with them), nihilistic (i.e., conviction that a major catastrophe will occur), or somatic (i.e., beliefs focused on bodily function or sensation).

Nonbizarre delusions are about situations that could occur in real life, such as being followed, being loved, having an infection, and being deceived by one's spouse. Bizarre delusions are clearly implausible. Delusions that express a loss of control over mind or body are generally considered to be bizarre and include belief that one’s thoughts have been removed by an outside force, that alien thoughts have been put into one’s mind, or that one’s body or actions are being acted on or manipulated by an outside force. []

Making a distinction between a delusion and an overvalued idea is important, the latter representing an unreasonable belief that is not firmly held. [] Additionally, personal beliefs should be evaluated with great respect to complexity of cultural and religious differences; some cultures have widely accepted beliefs that may be considered delusional in other cultures.

Unfortunately, patients with delusional disorder do not have good insight into their pathological experiences. Interestingly, despite significant delusions, many other psychosocial abilities remain intact, as if the delusions are circumscribed. Indeed, this is one of the key differences between delusional disorder and other primary psychotic disorders. However, the individual may rarely seek psychiatric help, remain isolated, and often present to internists, surgeons, dermatologists, policemen, and lawyers rather than psychiatrists.


It seems that these headshrinkers need to be hospitalized.

I think most psychologists are nuts. That’s what attracted them to the profession.

Have all the fishing boats left NY?

Is that why they can’t find a net big enough to catch all these lunatics?

How do you think a novelist came up with the idea of a psychologist also being a cannibalistic serial killer? There were probably a number of them in psycholecystectomy to provide inspiration.

“We can sense ... You can feel it,"

There you have it. Professional proof.

Wonder how many shrinks Weinstein had on his payroll. These non-scientific charlatans are scam artists who have deep psychological problems stemming from their childhoods. They should read Jesus’s parable of the “Mote and the Log” before criticizing the President.

“What a dumpster fire the left has become.”

I suggest we keep stoking it until about October of 2020.

You’d think Trump would be good for their business.
