     .........................
There will not be a book published this fall more urgent, important, or controversial
 than The Dangerous Game of Donald Trump.  Bill Moyers
 
In this current New York Times bestseller, more than two dozen psychiatrists and psychologists offer their consensus view that Trumps mental state presents a clear and present danger to our nation and individual well-being.  This is not normal.

Since the start of Donald Trumps presidential run, one single question has quietly yet
urgently permeated the observations of concerned citizens:  What is wrong with him?
Constrained by the American Psychiatric Associations  Goldwater Rule, which inhibits
mental health professionals from diagnosing public figures they have not personally
examined, many of those qualified to answer this question have shied away from discussing
the issue at all. The public has thus been left to wonder whether he is mad, bad, or both.

In The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump twenty-seven psychiatrists, psychologists and
other mental health experts argue that, in Mr. Trumps case, their moral and civic duty to
warn America supercedes professional neutrality.  They then explore Trumps symptoms
and potentially relevant diagnoses to find a complex - if also dangerously mad  man.

Philip Zimbardo and Rosemary Sword, for instance, explain Trumps impulsivity in terms
of unbridled and extremepresent hedonism. Craig Malkin writes on pathological narcissism
and politics as a lethal mix. Gail Sheehy, on a lack of trust that exceeds paranoia. Lance
Dodes, on sociopathy. Robert Jay Lifton, on the malignant normality that can set in
everyday life if psychiatrists do not speak up.

His madness is catching, too. From the trauma people have experienced under the
Trump Administration to the cult-like characteristics of his followers, Trump has
created unprecedented mental health consequences across our nation and far beyond.

Its not all in our heads. Its in his.
