Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A landmark work by a leading psychiatrist, this book delves into the national psyche, interpreting Donald J. Trump's rise as a reflection of deeper societal distress. It challenges the comforting notion that Trump is merely an anomaly, arguing instead that his ascent is a predictable symptom of a troubled society. The author posits that blaming Trump for our issues overlooks the underlying sickness that facilitated his rise. By labeling Trump as crazy, we evade confronting the broader craziness within our society. To regain sanity, we must first gain insight into ourselves. Drawing from his extensive experience, the author critiques modern American society's collective drift away from sanity and offers a prescription for reclaiming our bearings. As a past leader of the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM and an expert on psychiatric diagnosis, he has been central to discussions about Trump’s mental state, asserting that Trump is "bad, not mad." The critical question, he argues, is how the country could elect someone so unfit for leadership. This essential work provides a profound understanding of our national crisis and the path forward.
