Space cadets. Really a case of people reconstructing what they want to remember. Same with repressed memories etc. chances are these people would score very high on imaginative involvement scales and would be very responsive to hypnosis - one blurb from the amazon listing almost confirms it:
"Her more original contribution, based on her own research, is that abductees score high on measures of schizotypy (they're far from schizophrenic, but are prone to fantasy and "magical" thinking) and, more speculatively, experiencing what in the 19th century was called hysteria." Lots of research have found that people reporting abductions tend to score higher on fantasy proness, imaginal involvement and hypnotic susceptibility: http://www.antiwrap.com/?767 larry On 11/9/05, Gruss Gott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There's a new book out by a Harvard prof about alien abductions: > > Abducted : How People Come to Believe They Were Kidnapped by Aliens > (Hardcover) > by Susan A.
