three psychological traits:

Lincoln's presidential career was bounded at one end by the secession crisis and at the other end by the cluster of problems associated with reconstruction. It was also complicated by the increasing entanglement of slavery and emancipation with the conduct of the war. Thus great moral issues of war and peace, of racial oppression and human rights, intrude upon any effort at a comprehensive evaluation of his leadership.

However, many people desperately need these services. Who will provide them if mental health professionals hide out in a safe zone?

Of course, mental health professionals should pay attention when a client
