The Madman in the White House : Sigmund Freud , Ambassador Bullitt , and the Lost Psychobiography of Woodrow Wilson .
Patrick Weil : The idea that Wilson lost his marbles started during the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 .
He says two astute observers viewed the “ Wilson problem” as more than a diplomatic failure.
Wilson was an ineffective negotiator whose insistence that he was doing the Lord's work undermined U.S. leadership.
Freud never claimed he was making a scientific diagnosis, for he had never met Wilson , let alone listened to him on a psychoanalytic couch.
The authors may have thought a letter with phrases like “ Dear Father ,” a perfectly ordinary American epistolary form, meant Wilson thought his father was God and, therefore, he was Jesus Christ .
Bullitt went on a crusading career that can be viewed as a mirror image of Wilson ’s.
