In reply to the discussion: Trump Needs to Go 'Into Psychotherapy', Says Howard Stern: He Was 'Traumatized' by His Childhood [View all]CousinIT
(9,244 posts)Therapy won't help because a malignant narcissist would never believe that they need it. Quite the contrary.
Psychopathy is a brain malfunction. Synapses are misfiring or not firing at all. fMRI would show this. Also subjecting him to the Hare Psychopathy Checklist would reveal some interesting data.
Therapy can't "cure" something that isn't curable. His mental issues are likely pathological - and in addition, his privileged childhood further reinforced them. That's the scientific explanation for what's wrong with him.
The more religious one is that he's just plain E V I L. That's why some people call him The Devil. If you believe in all that, satan was supposed to come destroy this place. And if there is such a thing going on, it's Trump.
Either way, "therapy" isn't going to fix it.
Trump is the kind of "person" you lock up in a padded cell with a straightjacket and a faceguard like Hannibal Lecter. Forever. He does not belong in civilized society. He is a danger to himself and the World. And too utterly full of himself and/or lacking empathy or a conscience to even give a fuck.
Therapy will NOT fix this.
