Stanford Health Care n American Psychoanalytic Association: Psychoanalysts Should Offer Insight on Public Affairs; Exercise Caution on Public Figures By Emily Rappleye T he American Psychoanalytic Association issued a statement July 25 clarifying its position on the so- called "Goldwater Rule," which prohibits mental health professionals from commenting on the psychiatric condition of prominent figures, after STAT reported the as- sociation was lifting the rule.

APsaA cautioned its members against "wild analysis," libel, thinly veiled interpretations and definitive diagnoses of public figures, but noted it is committed to free speech.

Barry Goldwater while he was running for president in 1964. The American Psychiatric Association stood by this rule throughout the 2016 election and reaffirmed this posi- tion in March, according to the STAT report. However, it has never penalized its members for violat- ing the rule, according to STAT. The rule has garnered in- creased criticism during the Trump administration as pro- fessionals seek to explain the behavior of President Donald Trump, according to the report. n
