FromĀ Discover Magazine:Ā Using psychiatry and neuroscience to explain President Trump’s personality and behavior leads to circular reasoning.
“We donāt need these kinds of quasi-scientific analyses of Trumpās (or anyoneās) character. We should stick to describing and commenting on the behaviour that we can directly observe. If Trump is rash, then thatās it: heās rash. It doesnāt matter whatās going on in his brain to make him that way. If heās egotistic and selfish, then just say so ā it adds nothing to the discussion to speculate about whether he meets criteria for ānarcissistic personality disorderā, not to mention that such a diagnosis-at-a-distance isĀ ethically questionable.”
