Clinton's addictive,
self-destructive personality
Another specialist speaks out
on need for therapy

President Bill Clinton suffers from multiple
addictions and is on the verge of
self-destruction, according to a noted
psychotherapist and addictions specialist.
"He certainly has damaged himself. He hasn't
taken it to the ultimate point, but I think if he
doesn't drop his denial he's going to. He can't
really deal with what's going to come down
from Starr," anticipated Dr. Jerome D. Levin.
Clinton will have a very difficult time with
public disclosure of his sexual problems
"unless he comes clean with himself about
having the problem. It's not just sex. It affects
his entire life," explained Levin when he
appeared on "Talk USA Investigative
Reports."
Clinton exhibits various symptoms that
would indicate he has multiple addictions, or
"cross addictions." Sex addicts are also known
to be obsessed with pornography. Levin says
Clinton is so addicted that he is either
thinking about it or engaged in some form of
sexual gratification so often that it is a
distraction affecting everything else he does.
It is also not unusual for sex addicts to be
addicted to alcohol, drugs, or both.
Arkansas State Trooper Larry Patterson,
former Clinton body guard for over six years
in Arkansas, witnessed Clinton's addiction
first hand. Patterson spent many hours giving
a deposition for the Paula Jones case in which
he detailed the daily hunt he says Clinton
engaged in to find women. He also described
Clinton's constant sexual discussions and
innuendoes.
"This was a favorite saying of his. He'd say,
'Larry, the lady out there has that "come
hither" look.' Or he'd say, 'She's really coming
on strong. I'm going to have to do something
about her.' He's the chief executive of the
state. He's a big, good looking guy. He's got a
really good personality. So the women flock
to him. It was not hard to get them to
participate," explained Patterson while being
interviewed for the book "Cover Up: The Art
and Science of Political Deception." In
Clinton's deposition for the Paula Jones case
he admitted he used "come hither look" as a
way to describe certain women.
Trooper Patterson or other security guards
would simply walk up to the woman Clinton
had selected and tell them, "The governor
wants to be with you." The women got the
message and were usually very willing
participants. Usually. Not always, as we have
learned from Paula Jones.
Encounters happened everywhere Governor
Clinton went. Patterson said Clinton was very
supportive of Chelsea's school events and
recitals because he considered it a great place
to pick up women. One such occasion early in
the trooper's assignment was very telling.
"I had blocked the driveway at Chelsea's
school so he could meet this lady and spend
about 45 minutes with her. He got back in the
car and asked, 'How are we going to account
for this period of time?' I said, 'Watch this.' I
picked up the radio and I reported in. I told
the trooper, 'We've been out at a friend's
house.' The trooper said, '10-4.' Clinton patted
me on the shoulder and said of the trooper
who had responded, 'He is my friend. He will
lie for me, steal for me, cheat for me, kill for
me.' He said, 'You have to do the same to
cover for me.'"
Trooper Patterson said he wasn't about to kill
for Clinton, but he was a willing participant in
covering up for him. The reason, of course,
was fear and intimidation. He was afraid that
he would be out of work if he complained.
When Patterson and other troopers first went
public with "troopergate," they were heavily
discredited by the Clinton spin team. Many
more people are now willing to accept their
stories because of Clinton's recent admission
to the American people.
"His political style is an addictive one too,"
explained Levin. "He seeks the love of crowds
and the approval of people, which
undermines his ability to lead in situations
where they're not going to like what he says,
just as much as he seeks reinforcement from
seducing women.
"It affects him across the board and I think he's
headed for real bad trouble if he doesn't come
to terms with his problem. He's a compulsive
people pleaser. He needs the applause maybe
more than most politicians."
There have been several unconfirmed reports
that cocaine residue was discovered on the
Monica Lewinsky dress, which was tested for
stains said to have been made in a sexual
encounter between the two, also unconfirmed.
Clinton was known to frequent parties and
events put on by long-time friend Dan Lasater
while he was in Arkansas. Lasater was
arrested on federal drug charges involving
cocaine trafficking, but was able to enter a
plea for a lesser state crime and a shorter
sentence. Clinton's brother, Roger Clinton,
was also convicted of drug charges in the
incident. Clinton was able to issue pardons
because the crimes were lessened from
federal to state charges.
The investigation was conducted by former
Arkansas State Trooper Doc Delaughter, who
says Clinton friend and major financial
supporter Don Tyson of Tyson Foods was
involved. His investigation was mysteriously
shut down and Delaughter says he was forced
out of his job and out of the state. Copies of
confidential police reports describing
portions of the investigation were made
public by Delaughter and can be found in
"Cover Up," along with many other
documents.
Will Kenneth Starr's report contain
information about drug use by Clinton? Did
the dress have cocaine residue on it? Were
there other women Clinton has had sex with
in the White House? A source familiar with
the report being prepared said, "There are
more women. There are also women from
Arkansas who previously signed affidavits
similar to Lewinsky's claiming they did not
have sex with Clinton but have since recanted
those claims. Beyond that, all I can tell you is
there will be a number of surprises in that
report that will blow the general public
away."
Levin said it would not be a surprise to him
to learn that Clinton might also be addicted to
cocaine or some other drug. People with
sexual addictions are very commonly
addicted to alcohol, drugs, or both. He said it
is very unusual to find someone with only
one addiction. "As you know, his brother was
busted for cocaine and had a cocaine
problem," said Levin.
If a witness is shown to be a liar in a court
case, that witness is no longer considered
credible. Now that Clinton has admitted
deceiving the American people, can he be
trusted? Does he have the credibility needed
to deal with government leaders?
"He has certainly undermined his credibility.
To what degree you want to make that across
the board, well certainly in the area of his sex
life you would be rather naive to believe
anything he said. Whether you want to
generalize that or not, I'll let you decide," said
Levin about Clinton's truthfulness.
Levin, in addition to characterizing Clinton as
a liar, sex addict and drug abuser, says he is
most likely obsessed with pornography as
well. "That would be typical of the
syndrome," said Levin.
Dr. Paul Fick has made a similar diagnosis of
Clinton. He says treatment will take 18 to 36
months and requires Clinton to leave office.
Levin disagrees. He says Clinton can be
treated in four weeks while Gore fills in.
"Addictions are treatable diseases," said
Levin. "Lots of people recover but lots of
people destroy themselves, and indeed die.
It's extremely important, whether it's the
President (or anyone else), get yourself some
professional help. Do something about it, and
recovery can be amazingly satisfying.
"I would urge the President to go public, not
in any great detail, but simply say that he has
recognized that he has a problem and he has a
plan to treat it. Whatever that plan is, share it
in outline, not in the details, with the
American nation. Get himself that kind of help
and return to his job as I've seen many other
high-level professionals do. I think Clinton
would be respected if he did that." |
