50,000 psychologists have signed petition saying Trump unfit to be president:

[Bruce_T_Laney]

If Trump is insane, the media and Democrat's reaction to him is insane as well. I have never seen this kind of pure hated aimed at any public person, and I've seen a lot.

George W. Bush was treated like shit daily, so let cut the nonsense about is the most mistreated President ever...

Trump during Obama eight years acted like a mental midget, and now that Trump is President he is getting a taste of his own medicine and it is bitter as hell I bet!

 

[bripat9643]

So 50,000 psychologists, without having spoken to him let alone had lengthy counselling sessions have determined based on media alone that he is unfit?

This not only denigrates their professional and makes it look like a dishonest pseudo-science, but it also probably places them at some risk of having their license revoked does it not? You cannot make such a powerful suggestion while apparently in some position of authority based on flimsy and unscientific methods.

It's called a psychological profile , the CIA does it all the time to world leaders.
Even if you aren't a mental health professional you can tell something is not right with trump in the head

The fact that the CIA does it doesn't make it credible or professionally ethical. The CIA also murders people.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

Everything now said about Trump was also said about Barry Goldwater. The American Psychiatric Association passed Section 7 of the Principles of Medical Ethics informally known as the Goldwater Rule in which if is unethical and irresponsible for a professional to diagnose someone they have never met nor reviewed any records or reports.

These doctors are only making themselves irrelevant.

The Goldwater Rule: Why breaking it is Unethical and Irresponsible

These 50,000 psychologists also agree that Anthony Weiner is a perfectly normal gentleman and Huma is a very honest woman.

If you have evidence of that I will pay you $10,000. Bet?

The psychology profession will never regain the integrity it lost when it caved to political pressure and took homosexuality out of the DSM.

Homosexuality in DSM - Wikipedia

Homosexuality isn't a mental disorder just because you are a bigot who hasn't matured past junior high. Actual adults don't care what people who are different from them do in the privacy of their own bedrooms.

Lots of stuff that goes on in bedrooms is caused by mental disorders: child molestation, incest, rape, beastiality, etc. Homosexuality is one of them. The fact that homosexuals put political pressure on the psychology profession to take their personality disorder out of the DSM doesn't change the objective scientific fact that homosexuality is a personality disorder.

Incest, rape, and beastiality are not mental disorders - they are crimes. Committing an act isn't what a mental disorder is. Committing an act COULD be a symptom of a mental disorder but not necessarily. Someone could commit those crimes but not have an actual disorder. That isn't how disorders are defined.

You're right that crimes are not the same as disorders. But the fact is, mentally and emotionally healthy people do not engage in deviant or abusive sexual behavior. For example, the vast majority of child molesters were sexually molested when they were children. We don't know what causes homosexuality, but there is no such thing as a normal person, who "just happens to be homosexual." Homosexuality comes with it a host of other mental and emotional problems. For example, homosexuals are more likely to suffer depression, anxiety, have substance abuse problems, and are more likely to self-harm and commit suicide, than heterosexuals.

Higher Risk of Mental Health Problems for Homosexuals | Psych Central

Also, homosexuals are 10% less likely to report that they are "fairly happy" or "very happy" than heterosexuals.

Now, you're going to say that all these problems homosexuals experience are linked to society's non-acceptance of them, but I don't think that covers all your bases. Homosexuals now have won societal acceptance on many levels, and can now even marry one another, but all these mental and emotional problems have not gone away. Prior to the DSM being purged for political reasons, psychologists recognized that homosexual sexual orientation was merely a symptom of a much larger problem, which is a disordered personality on many levels. Now that the psychological profession has been terrorized into silence, they can no longer treat these problems, but must pretend homosexuals are "healthy" and that the only problem is societal disapproval. Not only is this an unscientific approach, it is harmful, because homosexuals really need psychological help, and they are not getting it.

Homosexuality cannot be "treated". And because the distress of it is ONLY caused by outside prejudice, it is NOT a mental disorder. By your logic, any sexual fetish would be considered a mental disorder. That isn't how it works.

Homosexuality can be treated in a sense if a person is not sure what he is or what he wants to be given conflicting inclinations. Do you understand that people do not have to be 100% straight or gay some can be right in the middle or anywhere on the spectrum.

i wonder what these 50,000 psychologists have to say about Hillarys brain freeze we all saw at one of her rallies​

And the spasms in a hallway plus when she was on stage accepting the nomination with hubby Bill.

Here is a photo of an admirer seeing the reaction above.

On stage at the convention with hubby.

I wonder what air time these would have received had it happened to any Republican candidate.

I agree with you on most issues but I think you're missing an important point.

Incest, rape, molested children, abuse victims all result in the victim having a mental disorder.

 

[Markle]

If you have evidence of that I will pay you $10,000. Bet?

That's your standard line when you have nothing and are too immature to recognize when someone is being facetious. Why not follow a piece of advice from Abraham Lincoln?

 

[depotoo]

Let's see that list. I'll start contacting those that are legitimate names to see if they really signed it.
Anyone care to make a guess of how many are legit? Lol

I tend to agree with the 50,000 psychologists referred to in the New Yorker magazine article but that still leaves the question of whether Trump is more fit to serve than a liberal.

Given that liberals have destroyed our families, schools, religion, healthcare system, and driven our corporations off shore with their taxes,unions and regulations it seems clear that Trump is still by far the better choice.

 

[Iceweasel]

Yeah because I care so deeply what psychologists think.

Not.

 

[Correll]

Don't you need to at least talk to a guy in your office before you can psychoanalyze him?

That would be like a cardiologist announcing Trump was about to have a heart attack without doing an exam.

Once again, we see that liberals will abuse ANY power or authority they have.

They can't be trusted to do ANYTHING.

 

[depotoo]

Wow, I found a few of the names. One of which is a construction worker, another a financial advisor, a student in Tucson, a blogger from Austin, must I go on?

 

[depotoo]

I've yet to find one psychologist, other than the author on the list yet. Lol

Yeah because I care so deeply what psychologists think.

Not.
