Any so-called doctor of the mind whether they be a psychologist or psychiatrist who diagnoses people he or she has never met is a… well you tell me. Dr. Drew Pinsky’s remarks in a recent Playboy Magazine interview:
A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that’s a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood - maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect.
Note how he says “to me,” when he describes his conclusions about Tom Cruise. Then I guess I will add, to me, Dr. Drew, your speculation about Tom Cruise to a reporter for a major magazine is grossly unprofessional behavior… and you know damn well it is. If you don’t, you’re an incompetent fool, and if you do… well, then Pinsky, what are you then?
