Since the first stirrings of Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy, to the most recent outcry from media commentators, one question has quietly but urgently permeated the observations of concerned citizens: what is wrong with him?
Harper West was invited to write a chapter for a book titled The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President. (Thomas Dunne Books; October 3, 2017), edited by Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div.
The first edition of “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump” debuted on the New York Times Non-Fiction Bestseller lists on Oct. 22, 2017, at #4 for Combined Print & E-Book. and #8 for Hardcover Non-Fiction. was on the bestseller list for seven weeks. On November 20, 2017, “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump” made the Washington Post’s list of “50 Notable Works of Nonfiction for 2017” and was dubbed “the Most Courageous Book of the Year.”
The book explores what might be wrong with Trump and addresses specific issues surrounding diagnosing and assessing his emotional and behavioral issues: Could he be mad, bad, or both—and both is a toxic combination.
It also discusses in depth the ethical issues of whether mental health professionals have a “duty to warn” about dangerous emotional instability in a leader. Some feel constrained by the American Psychiatric Association’s “Goldwater Rule,” which inhibits mental health professionals from diagnosing public figures they have not personally examined. Others feel compelled to report his behaviors as dangerous, given the serious implications for the country and world.
The book includes more than two dozen eminent psychiatrists, psychologists, and authors, including:
- Noam Chomsky, famed linguist and philosopher,
- Robert Jay Lifton, Harvard psychiatrist and expert on sociopaths and brainwashing,
- Gail Sheehy, author of Passages, named one of the ten most influential books of our times by the Library of Congress, and more recently many biographies of political leaders,
- Philip Zimbardo, famed for the Stanford prison experiment you may have read about in Psych 101,
- Tony Schwartz, ghostwriter of Trump: The Art of the Deal,
- Dee Mosbacher, Oscar-nominated feminist filmmaker,
- and Bandy Lee and John Gartner, leaders of the Duty to Warn group of mental health professionals, which organized this book project and a recent conference on the topic at Yale University.
Sample chapter titles include:
- Pathological Narcissism and Politics: A Lethal Mix, by Craig Malkin
- Tyranny as a Triumph of Narcissism, by Elizabeth Mika
- Donald Trump is: A) Bad; B) Mad; C) All of the Above, by John Gartner
- On Seeing What You See and Saying What You Know: A Psychiatrist’s Responsibility, by Henry Friedman
- The Issue is Dangerousness, Not Mental Illness, by James Gilligan
Harper West’s Contribution
West’s chapter is titled In Relationship with an Abusive President, and draws parallels between the behaviors of Trump and an abusive partner.
Harper West was interviewed on “Trump short-circuits his supporters’ brains – and makes them blind to the fact that he’s harming them (3/15/19)
Harper West quoted in Esquire: So, Does George Conway Have a Point About President Trump and Narcissistic Personality Disorder? We asked a bunch of mental health professionals.
