description: A young woman is abducted at midday during a busy workday in downtown Washington, D.C. I was that crime victim on that dreadful day, July 11, 1971. Following the assault, the U.S. government imprisoned me at the National Institutes of Health for four months as a subject in a schizophrenic research study. In Pilgrim Looking Through a Glass Darkly, I relive my experience on 4 East, describing how acute stress disorder-a normal response to trauma-was misdiagnosed as schizophrenia by government psychiatrists who knew little then how trauma can permanently affect the brain chemistry. After 15 years of psychotherapy, following sustained psychiatric abuse, I was able to face down my fears and recover my repressed memories. As a vital part of my recovery, I have written Pilgrim Looking Through a Glass Darkly for the victims of post-traumatic stress disorder. With friends and the Lord, Our Greatest Friend, we can walk down the road to recovering.
