The politicization of psychiatry, part 2

For more context on the Duty to Warn movement, see the March, 2017 letter from the American Psychiatry Association reaffirming its support for the so-called Goldwater Rule:

Today, APA’s Ethics Committee issued an opinion that reaffirms our organization’s support for “The Goldwater Rule,” which asserts that psychiatrists should not give professional opinions about the mental state of individuals that they have not personally and thoroughly evaluated.

At least a few shrinks have some common sense.

Even if the shrinks' analysis were correct, they should never take sides in a political controversy. They run the risk of destroying the presumption of impartiality that psychiatry has. But, I am sure that, like all good liberals these days, they feel that speaking out is a moral imperative. After all, they have a duty to warn. Oh please!
