[CTRL] Accuracy of recovered memories, multiple personalities/cult

[Smart News]

-Caveat Lector-                   "Research Examining Accuracy of Returned Memories - Recently there has been considerable controversy about the validity of recovered memories of past traumas....studies comparing continuous and delayed memories have found them to be of similar accuracy. Further support for this conclusion can be found in a number of case reports where trauma, memory loss, and spontaneous recovery of accurate memory were each documented....Research has repeatedly shown that when abuse reports are analyzed, false reports are found to be statistically rare."  http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/tm/acc.html   fwd from L Moss Sharman - A woman's quest for treatment - Plagued with multiple personalities, 'Susan' hopes her odd-jobs business will raise enough money for controversial medical treatment. Louise Dickson, Times Colonist 7/11/06 "This is the story of one woman's campaign to raise money for psychotherapy treatment for a controversial mental disorder. She says her name is Susan. But that's not the name on her driver's licence. Susan says the name on the licence belongs to a Victoria woman who suffered horrific, sexual, mental and emotional abuse for more than 30 years. Although the woman -- let's call her Jane -- has changed in appearance she does not want her real name used because she still fears abusive family members. Jane had a breakdown 10 years ago. A psychiatrist at Eric Martin Pavilion told her that her mind had shattered into hundreds of different identities. Susan is one of the 261 identities who rattle around in Jane's body and the one talking today about the challenges she faces.... Susan says Jane was abused from the age of one until she escaped at 34. Her mother was neglectful and cruel. Her father, who wandered around with shotguns, was crazy. He tortured animals, blaming her for the atrocities he committed, and telling her the same thing would happen to her if she told family secrets. She was raped, threatened, subjected to barbarous acts, Susan says. "We were stuck in a satanic cult world with bicycle gangs. There was devil-worshipping, sacrifices. Everything was my fault." http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/news/capital_van_isl/story.html?id=f25ea189-401d-46b4-9bf0-f8631ed2da5d www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
