Hi Marie: Thank you. It sounds like the perfect place for it. But that "why" question is a tough one. Especially explaining how an science-educated individual like Dr. Ross (who has published in the American Journal of Psychiatry) can believe such stuff. And unlike this harmless nonsense of his about a psychic eye beam, his influential promotion of the dangerous nonsense of MPD/DID and repressed memory therapy has caused much grief.
