Kristi Nelson
Steven Hassan, PhDSteven Hassan, PhD

It is easy when reading news or being on social media to have negative thoughts and feelings that don’t empower us to do all we can to make a constructive difference. A gratefulness practice is what I recommend. Focus on the good! Life is precious! https://t.co/YMNLBdPZyj

The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President - Updated and Expanded with New Essays

Bandy X. Lee
Steven Hassan, PhDSteven Hassan, PhD

Forensic psychiatrist Bandy X Lee deserves much more media exposure. Her expertise is “dangerousness” and was unfairly censored because of her book, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. Her analyses have been grounded in evidence and are spot on! https://t.co/GxFB8PjJOm

Crisis of Conscience: The story of the struggle between loyalty to God and loyalty to one's religion.

Raymond Franz
Steven Hassan, PhDSteven Hassan, PhD

@exjwbro I hope I planted a few seeds for them to think about. If you aren’t familiar with my life work, I have helped countless people exit the Watchtower since 1989. They had never heard of Raymond Franz or his book Crisis of Conscience, for example. They both took my card.
