Book Reviews of Bush on the Couch Rev Ed: Inside the Mind of the President
Book Review: A Fascinating Look at Why Bush Does What He Does
Summary: 4 Stars
I have never been a huge fan of psychoanalysis and think of it as a pseudo science, so when I saw this book, I had a lot of doubts as to the veracity of its contents. After reading it, however, I am inclined to believe that there is a fair possibility that a person can be analyzed without an actual observation and that much of what the author found is probably true.
The book was originally written in 2004 and examinded the mind of Bush 43 through his actions, words and movements. The current book contains the original book, plus several additional sections that look at any changes since the first book and to give a prognosis. What is contained in these pages is scary. Bush seems to have serious problems and it is a wonder we are not in worse shape than we are.
Two areas, not included in the book, which I wish the author had explored, are whether the author believes Bush will give up power at the end of his term, and whether, in the doctor's opinion, a constitutional amendment should be put forth requiring any future presidential candidate to have a psychological evaluation.
Although the book is a little tough to read, with all the terminology used by psychiatrists, the subject matter is important. If nothing else, it should open a discussion on the mental health of Presidents so we never face this problem again.
