| Summary |
"In Bush on the Couch, Dr. Justin A. Frank, a well-respected Washington, D.C.-based psychoanalyst and professor of psychiatry, unwraps the mystery, assembling a comprehensive psychological profile of President Bush. Using the principles of applied psychoanalysis - the discipline of psychoanalyzing public and historical figures pioneered by Freud - Frank fearlessly builds his case ... and reaches conclusions that are at once highly persuasive and deeply disturbing." "Through a close analysis of Bush's public statements and behavior, as well as the historical record provided by journalists, biographers, and those who have known the president well, Frank traces the development of Bush's character from childhood to the present day." "Bush on the Couch tackles the question no one seems willing to ask: Is our president psychologically fit to run the country?"--BOOK JACKET |
