New York Daily News - 6/19/02 - Jury Tells of Abuses by Priests - By Richard T. Pienciak - "A Westchester County grand jury issued a damning report yesterday that details numerous instances of sexual abuse by Archdiocese of New York priests and accuses church officials of chronically covering up clear-cut cases of criminal behavior....Not a single instance was discovered where church officials reported sexual misconduct allegations to law enforcement. The panel noted that it also failed to find a single church official who had ever recommended that the victim file a report with police." >From Lynne Moss-Sharman Child-sex Web snare - Snitch site targets pedo-tourists - By Rob Lamberti, Toronto Sun 6/21/02 "In the world child sex trade, Cambodia is a favourite for pedophiles -where it's an annual $500 million US business --and it's estimated more than 80% of the 5,000 street children in the capital of Phnom Penh have been abused by a foreigner. Globally, four million children and women are trafficked in the sex trade annually." from Lynne Moss-Sharman Pieces of personality seen in brain - A smiling face got parts of extroverts' minds going during scans By Faye Flam Inquirer Staff Writer 6/21/02 "A scan of brain activity may reveal aspects of one's personality, scientists said yesterday, raising both the possibility of new treatments for mental illness and the specter of Orwellian "thought police."" http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/3515210.htm from backlash_ology Objective documentation of child abuse and dissociation in 12 murderers with dissociative identity disorder. Lewis DO, Yeager CA, Swica Y, Pincus JH, Lewis M Am J Psychiatry 1997 Dec; 154(12):1703-10 OBJECTIVE: The skepticism regarding the existence of dissociative identity disorder as well as the abuse that engenders it persists for lack of objective documentation. This is doubly so for the disorder in murderers because of issues of suspected malingering. This article presents objective verification of both dissociative symptoms and severe abuse during childhood in a series of adult murderers with dissociative identity disorder. METHOD: This study consisted of a review of the clinical records of 11 men and one woman with DSM-IV-defined dissociative identity disorder who had committed murder. Data were gathered from medical, psychiatric, social service, school, military, and prison records and from records of interviews with subjects' family members and others. Handwriting samples were also examined. Data were analyzed qualitatively. RESULTS: Signs and symptoms of dissociative identity disorder in childhood and adulthood were corroborated independently and from several sources in all 12 cases; objective evidence of severe abuse was obtained in 11 cases. The subjects had amnesia for most of the abuse and underreported it. Marked changes in writing style and/or signatures were documented in 10 cases. CONCLUSIONS: This study establishes, once and for all, the linkage between early severe abuse and dissociative identity disorder. Further, the data demonstrate that the disorder can be distinguished from malingering and from other disorders. The study shows that it is possible, with great effort, to obtain objective evidence of both the symptoms of dissociative identity disorder and the abuse that engenders it. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
