A few comments-
The word expert is overused, it normally means someone who the speaker wants to quote to show the speaker is right.

Psychiatry is a branch of medicine, complex, evidence based (well more than not), requires high IQ ( distinguish IQ from sense), it studies brain/body functioning and failure, it has its own special medications which can be criticized as are other medications.
As in other branches of medicine a psychiatric opinion should be based on physical examination and medical diagnostic tests.

Psychology studies human behavior as individuals rather than groups (as sociology). It has little in the way of rational under-pinnings, the research tests may be large but the flaws of logic and experimental procedure are large, it is a field nearly always inappropriate for what it is supposedly used for. Large tests with vague results may benefit from statistical analysis, psychologists have expertise here on a par with climate scientists. The language style used by practitioners is complex to cover up the lack of content, the famous tests such as MyerBriggs have value only for entertainment. A psychological opinion does not need to be based on tests as there is little objective basis. The theory still has carry over from Sigmund Freud, one of great frauds. It belongs with the social sciences (using the word science loosely), social political diversity gender studies.

Sporty

Me Dr. Dino is now looking at a new Jag. I'm showing it to you along with its price tag.

Here, take a look~~

So who do you want me to defame?

Strangely:

I've had an MMPI and Meyers-Briggs and they were both relatively accurate for the goal of helping me to know myself better and to realize that I'm not as "odd" as my parents would have led you to believe.

That's the real goal of psych evals: Helping you to build a foundation of "self".

Nothing that Washington is about to do to President Trump has any bearing on knowledge of who he is or what makes him "tick".

They lost control and they will do whatever it takes to regain control.

It should be a 3-ring circus to watch..

How much you charge for your services Dr Philosoraptor?

It was either that or Myers-Briggs.

Well...
If you want to believe that I won't stop you.

And you can bet that Schitt will allow it, unlike the witnesses that the Republicans want to call. This kangaroo court would even make kangaroos blush.

That seemed to be the case with ones I knew back then. A bunch of not quite tightly wrapped folks. So it seemed to me at the time.

I put it that way for trying to be polite. Me now an old dino has through my years heard several different people opine that many shrinks get into the mental health field originally due to trying to figure themselves out. Not always in those same words.

I had a short internship in a MHC. Got to know some of the shrinks, etc. An experience which convinced me that my time could be better spent in another career choice.
To say that most of the "mental health experts" I got to know were not sailing on an even keel is an understatement. Lot of nutjobs in that field.

most psychiatrists need a psychitrists. Where were they when Hillary, who had once been hospitalized for out of control manic behavior, barked at her rally? Why is Warren a habitual liar, also give a pass. Beto is character flawed for sure. Biden likes to run naked at WH pool to make girls scream, ehibitionist? I am sure they could have a field day with Obama, who lies about his real father's name, was involved in cocaine in Hawaii and Chicago, inovlded in protitution in Hawaii, has daughter with no birth certificates, requested distastaste for him white grandma, who died during primary, as like most white women - racist? Jimmy Carter had his "killer rabbit" moment. Clinton had a sex addiction. Is there anyone who could pass their test in DC? Schumer has no idea bifocals exist, while he orchestrates hoaxes. Nancy can't accept her age, and has to get filled iwth Botox, and wear stilleto heels to pretend she is not old.

Thanks! I downloaded the Kindle version and am looking forward to reading it when time allows, which means I'll read it in various size doses in between everything else I have to do, LOL!

LOL!

Crazy like a fox, maybe. Crazy like a Democrat? That's a whole other realm of crazy...

Those 'experts' are complete hacks! Not a single phrenologist among them.

Donald Trump is a Gemini Fire Dog (14 June 1946: Western + Chinese Zodiac), and that makes him a good guy, even if a bit flamboyant and temperamental.

Any Psychiatrist willing to diagnose a patient he or she has never extensively examined is him or herself a nut job in need of serious psychiatric intervention.
Hopefully Doctor Dino Allosaurus will be along shortly to diagnose my seriously deranged conservative leanings from afar.

I hope that Schiff is drunk enough on his own fumes to step into that steaming pile of rose food.

Never interrupt an adversary, when he is injuring himself.

It would. It is very readable.

The hate is understandable, considering that a Philosophy professor who learns Objectivist is critical of Postmodernism.
