7-1/2 years have passed since that man''s election. From this vantage point, the book now seems quaint and prosaic. Dated. Truly: did you ever think you'd live to see the day when a POTUS would tell 30,000+ documented *public* lies during…

This book was written approximately 100 days into Trump's presidency. Sadly, with the exception of nuclear annihilation, all of the dark forebodings of the authors have since come true and then some. Even knowing this, I couldn't stop…

"Donald Trump is not an Adof Hitler. At least Hitler improved the daily life of his followers, had discipline, and required more of himself to gain the respect of his followers. Even with the same pathology, there are varying degrees of…

I just finished watching Unfit: The Psychology of Donald Trump (on Kanopy). If you have any doubts about this man, this film will clarify things for you. One of my take-aways was an interview with Ivana Trump. She said he kept a book of…

If you want facts as to why a majority of people in this country believe Donald Trump's behavior is reprehensible, also read Bob Woodward’s new book, Rage. It is an unprecedented and intimate tour de force of new reporting on the Trump…

Very eye opening. I not only saw Trump in this but some of myself...I recommend it

Seems to me that if you still deny that Trump is dangerous after reading this book, you’re in denial. Well worth reading, though the authors are probably preaching to the choir.

I didn't comment on this when I read it, but the comments below have motivated me to do so. I have never believed psychiatry is a science in the true sense. It is more an "art" of diagnosis. That being said, even the unskilled know when…

Do you wanna hear what I think? If 27 "so-called" mental health experts were to psycho-analyse me and they were to collectively come up with a potentially dangerous diagnosis of my present state of mind (as they have here in this book…

Psychiatric malpractice which was long ago prohibited - analyzing and diagnosing a patient which the doctor never personally interviewed or examined. Pure bovine excrement!

I don't need to read this book to know the Orange Idiot is a moron. All you need to do is listen to him once to know he is a con man - but not even a very good one. That is why Dumpy said he loves the uneducated - they are the only ones…

Personally, I think that this book is nothing but a hoax. (You are certainly welcome to think otherwise) To me - This is the sort of book that laughs (Ha! Ha! Ha!) right in the reader's face 'cause the reader so earnestly wants to believe…

Gosh this book is hard to read. There's two reasons for that: #1 they use technical jargon and tend to waffle in a very academic way which is so dry to read, it'll practically make your eyes water. #2 is because the implications are…

Required reading as evidence mounts regarding #45's mental condition. Sobering, terrifying and spot on.

It has gotten to the point that the democrats are like the sore losers in a monopoly game, they will do or say anything to get what they want. I would vote for Trump everyday for the rest of my life over a crook and liar like Hilary or a…

Shameful hatchet job by mental health professionals who should have composed a more balanced analysis.For instance,the "flaws' they claim the president displays,can they be "virtues" in a politician or leader in an age of social media…

Brilliant analogy by intelligent psychologists who are willing to put their careers on the line to tell their side. If you only read the Prologue by Robert Jay Lifton and Epilogue by Noam Chomsky, you will have enough to keep you awake and…

Incredibly unprofessional piece of literary garbage! Partisan politics at it's worst!
