American Psychoanalytic Association Says Its Members Are Free to Weigh in on Donald Trump's Obviously Troubled Mind. This month, the American Psychoanalytic Association told its roughly 3,5. Freudian president in the White House. According to Scientific American, one of the association’s past presidents, Dr.
Prudence Gourguechon, said the rule change was motivated by “belief in the value of psychoanalytic knowledge in explaining human behavior. We don’t want to prohibit our members from using their knowledge responsibly.”The rule change was in part necessary since President Donald Trump’s “behavior is so different from anything we’ve seen before,” Gourguechon added. Professional restrictions on diagnosing the mental health of public figures, which opponents refer to as a “gag rule,” has long been a matter of contention within the mental health field—but it’s become a particularly tense debate as of late. No wonder, given Trump’s tendency to go to war with his own staff and allies over perceived slights, rambling Twitter threats and that time this week he demanded the Boy Scouts pledge him their loyalty.

Republican nominee Barry Goldwater was mentally unfit to be president, weighing in with descriptions like “paranoid” and “grossly psychotic.”) While violating the rule can only result in associational sanctions like being kicked out of the APA, not revocation of medical degrees or licenses to practice, it’s still a powerful deterrent. Prominent psychiatrist Dr. Leonard Glass published an editorial in Psychiatric Times this month resigning from the latter APA, saying the rule had grown more draconian this year with a new interpretation“that comments about a public figure’s affect and behavior constituted an unethical professional opinion.”Glass wrote tighter restrictions on statements by psychiatrists “made a fundamental error conflating a ‘professional opinion’ that one might provide in a clinical setting and be the basis for a treatment plan with the ‘opinion of a professional’ who is making an observation in a non- clinical context, in the public domain.” When he raised the distinction with the APA, he wrote, he came away with the impression the association thought its members “must be muzzled to protect the profession.”The American Psychoanalytic Association may not have the clout of the American Psychiatric Association, but it is respected. It’s not calling for reckless abandon, either: Gourguechon told the Atlantic it would be unethical for a psychiatrist to “guess what’s going on in somebody’s mind,” but that offering general insights like whether particular presidential behaviors were “impulsive” are fine.

Trump is almost certainly such a significant outlier that some of his behaviors need to be weighed in on by professional mental health experts. Just listen to the guy speak for five minutes, and it becomes very hard not to think there’s something deeply wrong going on in there.

Denver police are investigating an incident involving cheerleaders at East High School being forced to participate in painful and possibly abusive practice routines. This month, the American Psychoanalytic Association told its roughly 3,500 members a decades-old rule against speculating on the mental health of some public figures.
But there’s also grounds to wonder if relaxing a rule designed to prevent the political weaponization of a medical discipline could have consequences long beyond the current moment. We do live in an age of Dr. Phils, massive stigmatization of mental health issues and politicians quite eager to call their opponents insane. Trump’s “psychological motivations are too obvious to be interesting, and analyzing them will not halt his headlong power grab,” the Duke University School of Medicine’s Dr. Allen Frances, one of the authors of the criteria on narcissistic personality disorder, wrote in the New York Times in February. The antidote to a dystopic Trumpean dark age is political, not psychological.”[Scientific American]Update: This post has been updated to include a quote from Dr.
What You Poor People Don't Understand About Private Driveways In New York City. Unfortunately, my travels and my business usually bring me to New York City a few times a year. I really don’t care for it. Bad smells, democracy and Chipotle are all nauseating to me. Thankfully, though, there’s been an increase in private driveways to sooth my nerves. I was mildly surprised when I found a write- up on the driveway of my most recently purchased apartment in the real estate section of lowly local rag, the New York Times. It made me wonder how long that poor (I mean, literally poor) reporter had to stand on the street, waiting for a car to pull up just so they could get a glimpse inside.
Kendall Huberman doesn’t deserve this. Read more Read. Yes, the driveway is a 3,0. Yes, the white column in the middle reminds me of a frozen whirlpool of.. Mmm. And there’s a cobblestone floor because it’s quaint. Like the south of fucking France or something.
But best of all, it’s another gate between me and the poors outside. But here’s what the NYT writer gets wrong: The rest of us can only crane our necks to catch a glimpse of a cloistered world out of reach.(..)Wealthy buyers want privacy in all caps. The private drive came roaring back into fashion when 1.

Now, porte- cocheres, circular driveways and gated courtyards are cropping up in Manhattan developments aimed at buyers looking to avoid flashing paparazzi cameras, or anyone who might gawk. Cloistered? Me? Fuck no! I want everything I own right on display. Couples Retreat Full Movie. I want you to know how much better I’m doing than you..
I think it encourages you to be better, too. See? This is all for you.
Got a mortgage to pay off? How about save for a yacht instead. Got college to pay for? The islands are calling. So, no, the private garages aren’t for hiding me, they’re for hiding you. You think I want to see your mug when I get in the car to leave in the morning?
No, by the time that door opens, I will hopefully be engrossed in something other than what’s outside of my car. You’ll understand some day. Just remember: every cent counts!
