so this is -- this is the problem for the psychiatry. when early in your career about when you're being trained as a psychiatrist, one of the first things you're taught is that you're supposed to approach the patient -- with a -- with a attitude of new neutrality which means -- among other things what that means is, your job is to help the person with their problems. not to impose your moral views or your values on them. >> and of course in most of the practice of psychiatry, maintain it. maintaining this kind of neutrality is not that difficult. because afterall, most people don't do horrific things. however qhb you come into the criminal justice system, you have to deal with that problem. think, for example of a person who drives the car up on the sidewalk up 7th avenue and runs over and kills the young woman and -- and sends 20 other people to the hospital. what would it be like to have to be that person's doctor? went back to 19 -- 1981 when mark david chapman killed john lennon and then is was sent to bellevue hospital this was -- t

and was starting, and was starting her forensic psychiatry fellowship. the first time i met elizabeth i was impressed. and it wasn't just that she was a very smart and well-trained and very energetic young psychiatrist. there was another quality which struck me very early on, and that was she was fierce. what i mean by that is she was fiercely determined. whenever she saw someone getting a raw deal or particularly when she saw mentally ill people who were not getting proper treatment, she had this fierce determination that something should be done about this to correct the situation. think of the wonderful scene in the second alien movie -- [laughter] where the alien is about to grab the little girl, and sigourney weaver gets inside of this mechanical robot -- [laughter] a machine with the two arms, and she's going to take out alien. that's elizabeth. [laughter] [applause] now, when you read the book, you'll learn about many different battles that she fought along the way in order to improve patient care or for just simply basic human rights for people w

this is from a former professor at harvard medical school, professor of psychiatry.isten to what he said. >> lying in the way that he does it repeated, dangerous lying makes him unfit and is a sign of mental disturbance. i don't think he does know reality. he doesn't have a clear grasp of it because he changes it. he makes up reality to suit his internal needs. >> george, your column avoided any diagnosis that you're not medically qualified to make. were you tempted. i feel your column goes right up to the border of psychiatry. >> i stopped there purposely. first i'm not qualified. i remember the gross abuse of psychiatry when my man barry goldwater whom i cast my first presidential vote was running in 1964 and a whole slew of psychiatrists diagnosed him from a distance. i didn't want to engage in that. i'm just going by the evidence that the president continues to put in front of us in torrential amounts. >> your recommendation at the close of your column is for the public to gakwar quarantine thi presidency. how can they do to that? >> the elected representatives h

this is from lance dodis, a former professor at harvard medical school, professor of psychiatry.et's listen to what he had to say about the president on this show. >> lying in the way that he does it, repeated, dangerous lying makes him unfit and is a sign of serious mental disturbance. and to the extent he doesn't know reality -- and i agree, by the way. i don't think he does know reality clearly. he does haven't a clear grass p of it because he changes it. he makes up reality to suit his internal needs. >> george, your column scrupulously avoided any diagnosis that you're not medically qualified to make, but were you tempted? i feel your column goes right up to the border of psychiatry. >> well, i stopped there purposely. the first place, i'm not qualified. second, i remember the gross abuse of psychiatry when my man, barry goldwater, for whom i cast my first presidential vote, was running for president in 1964 and a whole slew of psychiatrists diagnosed him from a distance as having all kinds of authoritarian and other disagreeable behaviors and tendencies. i didn't want to en

>> look, i think -- i'm not big into the armchair psychiatry, the pundit psychiatry, but i do think it is a fair question to ask, whether he's acting in a responsible manner and he clearly isn't. i don't think it's necessarily responsible to go out there and, you know, be delivering diagnoses on television. but it is a fair question to ask. is it sending the right message. is it sending not just abroad, but when you have people like congressman gianforte in montana body slamming a reporter and reporters -- politicians more and more cutting off access to reporters, what message does it send to them? it sends a message to them that it's fine to make the press the enemy, it's fine to use physical violence gwen them, fine to shut them out of press conferences. that's where i think it can be a bit more krocorrosive. >> democrats do it too. bill de blasio only allows on topic questions for press conferences and he's been an embarrassment as a mayor. >> he's not the president of the united states. >> but he's happy donald trump is. >> the question to me is -- >> real quick, bob. >> -- psychol

for more on this matter let's bring in bryce mandarin assistant professor in the department of psychiatryand human behavior at the university of california irvine thanks so much for joining that surprise she ought to be here thank you very much and so there are a percent doesn't sound very promising even can you tell us some of the health effects that people will start see when they begin skimping on exactly how much they sleep. sure yeah there's i think a best way to summarize it would be to say there is no organ system in the body that is impervious to the effects of sleep loss kidney function liver function the immune system the brain itself the heart the cardiovascular system all of those things are impacted by sleep loss particularly if it's chronic. you know there's there's there's no system that is left on spare intermixing on yeah ok and well let's talk about the technology affecting our sleep cycle so many of us are just simply ticked into our phones reading up on the latest headlines there you know checking our social media before hitting the hay but can this really impair our s

one morning he wakes up you know and begins to kill mass killers on people i'd like to see is psychiatry's to can explain that ok well yeah we've run out of time there director of trans national foundation for peace and future research thank you very much for your thoughts on that closure and thanks indeed. now for a t.v. channel video cameras have been giving a c.n.n. a few headaches this week several and a cover clips are post online at allegedly exposing attitudes at the channel towards russia related stories. they want to see them constantly and. this is really it is really reserve the right. it's just like. you know we don't know. what you think's going to happen this week it's all russia. really. you just saw a c.n.n. producer and one of their political commentators last van jones responded to the undercover video saying his words had been taken out of context and that he did not think there was nothing to claims team trunk colluded with russia and tried to cover it up both videos were released by investigative journalism group project very tight as their founder is already facing a

he is the clinical professor of psychiatry at the university of california, san francisco, and keithlso serves as the director of the family therapy program at the san francisco veterans administration. and keith co-authored the book "courage after fire." so, keith, tell me why you wrote it and why there's a need for this. >> sure. you know, i'd been working with veterans of all wars -- world war ii, korea, vietnam -- and then 9/11 happened, and, after a few years, we felt that we wanted to make sure that something was out there, a self-help book that would be really accessible to veterans coming back from iraq or afghanistan and their families. and we really wanted to do it differently than we felt like it had been done for our vietnam veteran cohort that, you know, suffered many times in silence. >> and i know that my dad served in a couple of conflicts, and so he never talked about anything. >> that's right. >> so, therapy can help some of the complications. we saw an example of that. what are some of the other ways that the va can help with therapy? >> well, i think that there ar

those who came home would have suffered many of them from shell—shocked, some of the advices of psychiatrynot play any part in the commemoration of those who survived? we‘ll have those things in mind. it is very difficult to go back and reinterpret events as they were at the time and as they were experienced at the time but i think the honourable gentleman makes a very perceptive and worthwhile point. can i share with him these photographs that shows passchendaele village injune 1917 and in december 1917 and even from a distance it is possible to see how entirely the landscape was obliterated by the bombardment. a labour mp said his father went to passchendaele at the age of 15 to fight german aggression. we cannot look at this without remembering that many who lost their lives did not give their lives, they were told if they went that they would stop the huns bayoneting belgian babies. they went there as result of propaganda. we must remember that if we learn the proper lessons of warfare and the immense wasteful loss of life. an mp who‘s a military historian read a first hand account fro

weigh in about the president's mental stake it started with a story on the website, stat, headlined psychiatryrs they can ignore the goldwater rule and comment on trump's mental health. some history. the goldwater rule was named after arizona senator and 1964 presidential candidate barry goldwater. back then a magazine sent out a survey to 100 psychiatrists, who labeled goldwater psych atically unfit for office. after losing the election badly, barry goldwater successfully sued the publisher and then the rule was instituted, prohibiting psychiatrists from commenting on public figure these had not personally evaluated. a new email members are free to comment about political figures as individuals. the group which represents a broad range of mental health experts later clarified, saying that doctors can comment, but still not diagnose. to keep things clear the american psychiatric association sent us a email sent us a group saying the group stands firmly behind the goldwater rule, our position has not changed. a upcoming book "the dangerous case of donald trump" 27 psychiatrists and mental healt

trump's problem is he thinking foreign policy is a branch of psychiatry, you know, he and xi got on well served him a nice piece of chocolate cake, but china has a deep strategy there. they're not going to do it because they had a nice time at mar-a-lago. >> let me ask you about russia. they're retaliating. he's ordering 700-plus diplomats to leave his country. if you read the piece with david sanger, he's saying essentially the whole nothing is backfiring on him. he's not getting anything out of it thus far, so i'm wondering, you know, the 2 hour, 16 minute meeting, an the chat around the dinner table, is that all out the window, with an attempt gone because of this bill? >> what's happened is donald trump has so boxed himself in on russia by refusing to even admit that they had the election by refusing to say, you know, let's leave this to a committee, i will fully couldn't, by creating this atmosphere where people are wondering, you know, why is he fighting this? he has paralyzed on russia policy. he can't be cooperative. in effect he can't do anything, so congress is running russia p
