Nathan's book is every bit as controversial, from what I've heard.
MOO

Broadly, yes. It's been called DID since 1994.Is multiple personality disorder the same as DID?
Although he inadvertantly might have had a point: would you want LS in *your* hospital.Mr Tolini saying " I'm not accusing anyone" is exactly like when someone says "No offence,but" right before they insult you.
How he had the nerve to accuse them of throwing the sanity evaluation to stop a bed being needed at the state hopsital when his client is literally faking (badly) insanity to get away with murder and he knows it, is a beyond me!.
Above, from previous post, by @girlhasnoname.Here for Gannon.
Thinking this morning how awful that night/next day must have been for him, he couldn't understand what was even happening to him or why I'm sure. Nobody deserves that type of treatment, especially not a loving, caring, innocent boy. It really does make my heart hurt for him.
Defense and Doctors can spin all of this defendants wickedness into whatever scientific names, behaviors they want. She is a guilty, depraved individual that killed this innocent boy for whatever sicko reason she had in her warped mind. I hope she's locked away for the rest of her miserable, useless life.
For around a decade, if I recall correctly.I assume that stepdad is conveniently deceased?
I’m so glad you said Edgar. I thought it was ME that was dissociating - today I heard Edgar instead of Edguardo and PetSmart instead of Petco.Edgar's the new Quincy, Edguardo, Angel, Uncle Matt....
There was Guam, too, nobody seems to want to talk about him.I’m so glad you said Edgar. I thought it was ME that was dissociating - today I heard Edgar instead of Edguardo and PetSmart instead of Petco.
But it's not just Dr. Lewis. The majority of cases of DID are said to be diagnosed by a handful of experts. That may be suspicious. OR it may be run of the mill therapists send questionable cases to experts because it is so rare. Mental health professionals are supposed to practice only within their competence areas. Mostly it's self-policed. And someone who has never seen a case of X may not want to try to assign a final diagnosis of X.I believe that Dr Torres had testified earlier that she had never come across a real case of DID because of its rareness. Which may lead a cynical person to wonder how on earth Dr Lewis has tripped over so many of them. Almost as though they were just waiting for her to diagnose them with it.
Also earlier today someone (really sorry, I can't recall who) linked to a website with a few facts and statisitics about DID. One of the areas on there that I read was about the rates of criminality amongst genuine sufferers. It turns out that very few commit crimes of any sort, and only a minute number have committed violent crime.
I’ve flown to Alaska before. It is a US State. You don’t need a Canadian passport. And while it may be a requirement now, a few years back you just drive the Alaskan highway and you did not need a passport for driving.I wonder how they got to and from Alaska? I guess not driving!
