The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 40 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Warn Anew

by Bandy X. Lee

Today, the 2017 instant New York Times bestseller, The Dangerous Case of Donald 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts, seems almost prophetic. The updated and expanded version, The Dangerous Case of Donald 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts, predicted that, unless contained, the dangers would not remain only psychological but become social, cultural, geopolitical, and civic. That is what has come to pass. Now, many more psychiatrists and mental health experts join the original mental health experts who spoke out, with hopes at a critical time that American democracy and human civilization may be saved.

An essential follow up to the original Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. Sadly his cult likely won't bother to read it.

You can also see this review, along with others I have written, at my blog, Mr. Book's Book Reviews.

Mr. Book just finished The More Dangerous Case Of Donald Trump: 40 Psychiatrists And Mental Health Experts Warn Anew, edited by Brandy X. Lee.

This is the third book in its series. First, in 2017, The Dangerous Case Of Donald Trump was published, with 27 psychiatrists involved. The updated and expanded version came out in 2019, this time with 37. Now, the latest version has 40.

This book starts with a sentence recommendation that a group of psychiatrists had written about Trump. It then proceeds to have so much great information about Trump and the dangers that his mental capacities have for the country. The book makes it clear that Trump definitely fits the standards of someone with mental illnesses and should is a threat to both the nation and the world as a whole.

I give this book an A+ and inducted it into the Hall of Fame. Goodreads requires grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, an A+ equates to 5 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).

Great review of differing thoughts about Trump's mental illness. Too bad MAGA folks do not understand.

[LanDroid · Rating 4 out of 5]

This has important information on the dangerous psyche of Trump. It is sad to read because, just prior to the election, many of the authors are begging voters NOT to reelect him. But the info is still critical for understanding moving forward.

Clear and concise

It was tempting to dismiss this book as potentially dry and excessively pedantic BEFORE I READ IT. The authors present a clear, concise, and crucial to the well-being of humanity, case against dangerous leadership. I have a new appreciation for educated professionals who recognize a duty to serve the greater good, in defiance of ethical codes imposed by excessively political professional societies. BRAVO.

[Braden Canfield · Rating 3 out of 5]

They “had me at hello” regarding the primary goal of the book and although there are some excellent insights here, it suffers from a redundancy of topics, a “spaghetti against the wall” lack of focus, too frequent sprinkling of shallow ideas and some poorly structured articles. I rather wish I had read the original in hopes that it provided more consistent quality.
