If it weren't for double standards, the Left would have no standards at all. Yale Psychiatrist Who Declared Trump Mentally Unfit Has Been Fired, and She’s Suing
Bandy Lee, the psychiatrist who repeatedly diagnosed Trump as mentally unfit and dangerous, without ever even having met him, has apparently been fired by Yale University.
What a shame.
Her diagnois extended to Alan Dershowitz (a lawyer on Trump's team), and everyone who ever supported Donald Trump.
Diagnosing people from afar is a big no-no in psychiatry. They even have a description for that. It’s called the ‘Goldwater Rule.’
The Golwater Rule, of The American Psychiatric Association (APA), dates to the 1964 Presidential election.
7. 3. On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.
The link to the APA discusses the controversy from 1964.
Brandy Lee is, of course, suing Yale, because Democrats should be able to say whatever the hell they please with no repercussions.
