Talk:Marilyn Van Derbur

Therapist
The Chicago Tribune article says, Such mental splits are common among children who have been sexually violated, Van Derbur and affiliated medical experts explained. They said therapists are beginning to unravel how many of today`s troubled adults are victims of child abuse who found escape by retreating into what clinicians call disassociation and, in more severe cases, multiple personalities.

This sounds like Recovered-memory therapy. In 1991, that was en vogue, and papers gullibly believed what the therapists said. It should be clarified if this is a bona-fide case or based on the dubious technique of recovered memories. --Hob Gadling (talk) 19:07, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
