[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone looked at Bandy Lee's credentials?

First, she is an Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale - usually there are a couple of levels above this on the tenured track: Associate Professor and Professor.

But more to the point: her credentials have nothing to do with what she has opined on. This is what the Yale Department of Psychiatry says about her:

[i]Dr. Bandy Lee is an internationally recognized [b]expert on violence.[/b]

She served as Director of Research for the Center for the Study of Violence (Harvard, U. Penn., N.Y.U., and Yale), co-founded Yale’s Violence and Health Study Group (MacMillan Center for International Studies), and leads a project group for the World Health Organization’s Violence Prevention Alliance.  She has consulted with the governments of Ireland and France, as well as California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York on violence prevention programming in prisons and in the community.  She played a key role in initiating reforms at Rikers Island, New York City’s correctional facility known for extreme levels of violence.  [b]She has been teaching students studying to be public defenders and to become asylum attorneys at Yale Law School since 2003, and a Global Health Studies course of her design, “Violence: Causes and Cures,” since 2013.[/i][/b]

"Violence prevention" seems to be her area of expertise. [b]Could not the Democrats have found someone with better credentials to brief them on Trump's mental stability?[/b]

By all means please encourage Republicans to find someone more qualified/competent for such a task and have them hold their own briefing.

Why would the Republicans do it when it is the Democrats who are ranting about his mental instability. Find someone who actually has expertise.

You know the reason why they ended up with Lee? I suspect it is because reputable psychiatrists who have expertise in the area would not deign to offer an opinion without examining a patient. It would be unprofessional and the findings would be suspect.

Perhaps the Rs could use her to figure out why so many young white men like to shoot up schools and churches.[/quote]
