I wholeheartedly agree with you. I remember when they were trying that with Dubya when he was president and many psychiatrist said that wasn’t the right and ethical thing to do, so the media kind of backed off on that.I think it's a very bad thing to issue a diagnosis, in the field of psychology, to people that you have not personally assessed. There is an ethical argument
that just cannot be overlooked or excused from a professional that knows better than to say the things she is saying without a professional observation.
Exactly. The president was not these psychiatrists' patient. Diagnosis precedes treatment.I wholeheartedly agree with you. I remember when they were trying that with Dubya when he was president and many psychiatrist said that wasn’t the right and ethical thing to do, so the media kind of backed off on that.
However, this forensic psychiatrist is saying that they were giving him a mental health capacity evaluation from examining the Mueller Report. She also stated that military personnel go through this evaluation if they deal with nuclear weapons. What her and her colleagues found is that this president is unfit to make rational decisions. This is something that most people can see anyway by the way he tweets and retreats on his statements. She said also stated she does these evaluations for courts cases and she testifies in court with her findings.
But ethically, can a person in the field issue any kind of official evaluation without a proper evaluation? Observing a person as a patient is the ethical thing to do instead of going on TV talking about a person "from a distance".I wholeheartedly agree with you.
