Dr. Paul Fick

Paul M. Fick, Ph.D. is a clinical and forensic psychologist with a private practice in Laguna Niguel, California. Dr. Fick’s psychological expertise brings clarity to the sometimes confusing and perpetually dysfunctional political arena. Dr. Fick’s first book, The Dysfunctional President (1995, 1996, 1998), provided the definitive psychological analysis of Bill Clinton. The New York Post hailed the book to be “prophetic” since Dr. Fick predicted in 1995 that Clinton would act out sexually during his administration in a manner that would risk his presidency. The Dysfunctional President was the first book authored by a mental health professional to contend that a sitting president’s psychological status would hamper his ability to govern. One need only recall the chaos that ensued during Clinton’s impeachment to realize that Dr. Fick’s contention was right on the money. In The Destructive President, Dr. Fick has turned his attention to the current political climate and to President Barack Obama. After studying Obama for over three years, Dr. Fick has come to startling conclusions about our current president and has determined that President Obama’s psychological concerns far exceed that of President Clinton. It is essential that Americans learn the truth about Obama’s psychological status so that they may prevent him from causing further destruction to the country. Dr. Fick has appeared on many national and international television programs including The O’Reilly Factor, Hardball with Chris Matthews, Dateline NBC, One on One with John McLaughlin, etc. He has been a frequent guest on talk radio programs across the country and has been interviewed by major newspaper publications. Dr. Fick is married to Dr. Ashley Fick who is a psychologist and marriage and family therapist. He has three fabulous daughters, all of whom are in their twenties. Dr. Fick prays that America will awaken to the truth about Obama so that our children and grandchildren will not live in an America unrecognizable to the country we grew up in.

THE DESTRUCTIVE PRESIDENT - Introduction

What we have in President Obama is a man without a foundation. During each childhood developmental phase he was confronted with significant loss, trauma, and impediments that inhibited him from successfully traversing through childhood, into adolescence, and into adulthood. He was not taught to identify, express, and resolve his emotional distress related to these painful experiences. He was left to fend for himself to resolve his distress. Lacking the psychological roadmap and feeling overwhelmed with his circumstance, he floundered emotionally. Being no stranger to rejection and abandonment, he questioned his own lovability and goodness. In an effort to contain his pain, he learned to rigidly maintain that he is right, and others are wrong, and to present with an air of intellectual superiority. Despite the appearance of having it all together, there is a continuous fear and tension that his lack of worth will be exposed, that others will realize that he doesn’t measure up.

So, what happens when a child grows up and is fixated emotionally and behaviorally in the past? The child becomes an adult with resentment and anger and without the resources to resolve that pain. The emotions from the past become intertwined with the present. Those emotions do not fade away. The unresolved feelings and the behavioral patterns from childhood are evident in that person’s adult life. And, if that child grows up to become president, he brings that destructive force along with him.

The purpose of this book is to tell you the truth about President Obama. It is a disturbing truth, one that is unpleasant to write and one that you will find troubling to read. It is the truth, nonetheless. You will discover that there is a reason why the Obama presidency is failing our country. That failure is not occurring by happenstance. The reason for the undermining of the nation cannot be found solely in a search of Obama’s ideology as troubling as that ideology may be. It also will not be found in a search for Obama’s birth certificate. The answer to the question of why Obama is set to destroy America is found in his personal history, his developmental stumbles, his emotional immaturity, and ultimately inside his mind.

Be prepared to squirm uneasily in your chair as you read about Obama’s flawed psychological makeup and follow the progression of his emotional descent. What you will learn is that as Obama wrote in The Audacity of Hope; his heart is filled with emotion for this country. Tragically, the emotion is not love.

Initial Clinical Impressions

When discussing Obama’s psychological status, it is important to bear in mind that clinical impressions differ from diagnosis. Given all that is known about Obama, especially given his own revelations found in his writings and statements, it is possible to offer convincing clinical impressions about Obama both as a youth and in the present. These clinical impressions do not equate to official diagnoses, however, as such diagnostics should be reserved for opportunities involving clinical interviewing and/or psychological assessment. Given the gravity of the state of affairs in the country and the risk that Obama poses, it is important to offer clinical impressions so that Americans can better understand the individual in the White House and what we are dealing with as a nation.

Obama’s youth was fraught with traumatic circumstances and loss; paternal rejection and abandonment, maternal neglect and abandonment, multiple divorces, multiple moves, a sense of alienation regarding religion, race, and socioeconomic status, etc. These losses were incurred during each of the key developmental stages of personality development and negatively impacted Obama’s movement through those developmental stages. Commonly with such trauma and loss, neurochemical changes take place and neural pathways are developed that reinforce and restrict the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral responses to similar stimuli later in life. These structural changes in the brain do not self-correct but require specific therapeutic and/or pharmacological interventions to enable the individual to correct the neurochemical imbalances and to create new neural pathways so that the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral response patterns may be broadened.
