Summary
"The Goldwater Rule" has been used by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to convince mainstream media to suppress the expertise of psychiatrists on Donald Trump's mental state. Bill talks to two psychiatrists who explain the origins of the"Rule, " and how they had tried to modify it in the face of the dangers Trump posed. Now, they say, their expertise is no longer welcome in the mainstream media. Bill's guests are Dr. Bandy Lee, a psychiatrist on the faculty of the Yale Medical School and the Editor of The New York Times bestseller, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President. Also joining Bill is Dr. Leonard Glass, is associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
Today's Bill Press Pod is sponsored by The United Food and Commercial Workers Union. On the frontlines during the pandemic in our grocery stores, pharmacies and food processing plants. More Information at UFCW.ORG.
