Missouri high court allows church abuse case on repressed Memory Kelly Wiese AP Jefferson City, Mo. "A man who claims to have recalled childhood sexual abuse by clergy decades after it occurred can move forward with a lawsuit, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled Tuesday. The case, which is being watched closely by advocates for sexual abuse victims, turns on the state deadline for filing lawsuits, which is triggered not by when a wrongdoing is committed, but by when victims are capable of realizing the damage they suffered. Michael Powel contends he was sexually abused by two instructors while attending Chaminade College Preparatory School, a Catholic boarding school in St. Louis County, from 1973 to 1975. But Powel claims he did not recall the abuse until 2000, when he began receiving treatment for brain cancer." http://www.belleville.com/mld/belleville/news/state/14810021.htm?template=contentModules/printstory.jsp Manchester academic to tell conferences: Child abuse can cause
schizophrenia University of Manchester researcher Paul Hammersley is to
tell two international conferences, in London and Madrid on 14 June 2006, that
child abuse can cause schizophrenia. The groundbreaking and highly contentious
theory, co-presented by New Zealand clinical psychologist Dr John Read, has been
described as "an earthquake" that will radically change the psychiatric
profession....Mr Hammersley, Programme Director for the COPE (Collaboration of
Psychosocial Education) Initiative at the School of Nursing Midwifery and Social
Work, said: "We are not returning to the 1960s and making the mistake of blaming
families, but professionals have to realize that child abuse was a reality for
large numbers of adult sufferers of psychosis." “Hammersley and Read argue that
two-thirds of people diagnosed as schizophrenic have suffered physical or sexual
abuse and thus it is shown to be a major, if not the major, cause of the
illness. With a proven connection between the symptoms of post-traumatic stress
disorder and schizophrenia, they say, many schizophrenic symptoms are actually
caused by trauma. Their evidence includes 40 studies, which revealed childhood
or adulthood sexual or physical abuse in the history of the majority of
psychiatric patients and a review of 13 studies of schizophrenics found abuse
rates from a low of 51% to a high of 97%. Psychiatric patients who report abuse
are much more likely to experience hallucinations – flashbacks which have become
part of the schizophrenic experience and hallucinations or voices that bully
them as their abuser did thus causing paranoia and a mistrust of people close to
them.” http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-06/uom-mat061306.php
