xxiii, 279 pages ; 24 cm No president in the history of the United States has inspired more alarm and confusion than Donald Trump. As questions and concerns about his decisions, behavior, and qualifications for office have multiplied, they point to one primary question: Does he pose a genuine threat to our country? The American Psychiatric Association's Goldwater Rule constrains psychiatrists from offering diagnoses on public figures who are not patients and who have not endorsed such statements. But in Trump on the Couch Clinical Professor of Psychiatry Justin A Frank invokes the moral responsibility that compels him to speak out and present a full portrait of a man who presents us with a clear and present danger... With our country itself at stake, Dr. Frank calls attention to the underlying narcissism, misogyny, deception, and racism that drive the President who endangers it. A penetrating examination of how we as a nation got here and, more important, where we are going, Trump on the Couch sounds a call to action that we cannot ignore. Introduction -- Part one: Origins. Mother -- Father -- Brother -- Rivals -- Part two: Pathologies. The psychology of lying -- The psychology of narcissism -- The psychology of destructiveness -- The psychology of racism -- The psychology of sexism and misogyny -- The language of Donald Trump -- The end of the beginning.
