"Elizabeth Loftus, Sara Polonsky, and Mindy Fullilove (1994) reported that 54% of women in an outpatient substance abuse treatment group reported a history of childhood sexual abuse; of these, 19% reported that they had forgotten the abuse for a period of time and that later the memory returned. An additional 12% reported a period of partial forgetting. Thus 31% of the participants in this study reported some disruption in their memories for the sexual abuse." p. 40, "Betrayal Trauma, The Logic of Forgetting Childhood Abuse" - Jennifer J.

fwd from L Moss Sharman Malvo's Mother Defends Strict Parenting, Beatings By Serge F. Kovaleski Washington Post Staff Writer 12/14/03 "CHESAPEAKE, Va. - "Una James says that whenever she would "flog" her son, Lee Boyd Malvo, with a leather belt to keep him in line, she felt little regret because corporal punishment is a way of life in her country." "The defense claims that his mother's beatings caused Malvo to emotionally disavow her, leaving him with no adult role model since he was already estranged from his father. Forlorn and longing for a parental figure, Malvo was ripe to be indoctrinated by Muhammad, a charismatic ex-soldier who eventually manipulated him into taking part in last fall's sniper shootings, the defense contends."The three psychiatrists and one psychologist who assessed Malvo in the months leading up to the trial told jurors that James hit the teenager with belts and broomsticks for seemingly minor matters, such as Malvo's cat soiling the bed. After that, for about the next six years, Malvo used a slingshot and marbles to kill stray cats several times a week. He even killed his own cat. "Killing of cats is certainly a sign of some significant emotional disturbance in childhood," forensic psychiatrist Neil Blumberg testified. When Malvo was 12, James gave him a beating after finding out that he had prepared to commit suicide by hanging himself with a sheet tied to a tree limb, according to court testimony. Malvo told his mother that he was sad about her leaving him all the time and that he no longer wanted to spend weekends alone at a boardinghouse. "She talked him down and was nice to him for about a day and then beat him again and left," forensic psychiatrist Diane H. Schetky testified." http://www.washingtonpost.com/ www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
