America Needs a Psychologist-in-Chief | Psychology Today

I posted this somewhere -- don't find it now -- without other explanation. Some time ago I had the same thought, and even asked someone in NIH if we have one -- I think a "psychologist-in-chief" might be a good idea for our government, since I think really understanding human psychology underlies just about everything the government does -- it deals with people, after all.
