Which plan is this ? Have they gone threw the Alphabet yet ?

[kiryandil]

Some say that these "psychiatry experts" are associated with the Pedo Alliance, and are worried that President Trump will jail them all for their crimes against children.

That's what some say.

[faithhopecharity]

they’re insane
take away their licenses FOR SURE and put them into a good mental hospital

then shut down Yale U.

[miss marmelstein]

Soviets! Some of us have memories and this is scary.

[hinckley buzzard]

Yes. Grossly unethical behavior.

[relictele]

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

[Boogieman]

Violation of the APA code of ethics, specifically the “Goldwater Rule” defined in “Principles of Medical Ethics With Annotations Especially Applicable to Psychiatry”.

[IronJack]

No psychiatrist worth his couch would diagnose a patient like this. It borders on malpractice.

[Pearls Before Swine]

"I've worked with murderers and rapists, I can recognize dangerousness from a mile away," he said.

I wonder how many convicts he has gotten to recommend release to society who later committed additional crimes. What's his W-L record?

[relictele]

That freeze frame always reminds me of this:

[babble-on]

We’ve had some pretty great presidents who were pathological narcissists.

[Williams]

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?

[upchuck]

From the article:

“As some prominent psychiatrists have noted, [Trump’s mental health] is the elephant in the room,” Lee explained. “I think the public is really starting to catch on and widely talk about this now.”

Oh my goodness. That explains why I see President Trump's mental problems everywhere I turn. Radio, newspapers, online, billboards, his mental illness is everywhere. OH NO!

[Mr. Douglas]

Like most liberals, they are projecting. ;-)

[Lexington Green]

Quack QuackQuackQuack... Quack

[dsrtsage]

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

[Boogieman]

Not illegal, but a violation of the APA code of ethics, so he could be reprimanded or lose his membership.

[Williams]

Why would a professional compare a narcissist to rapists and murderers?

Liberals consider all conservatives to be nazi racist misogynist killers.

[Robwin]

This appears to be a gross violation of the Goldwater Rule:

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.

[Mr. Douglas]

You’re just not hanging around the right echo chambers. :)
