No surprise here. The faulty assumptions underlying this clinical diagnosis jibe with a general emphasis on subjectivity and relativism in psychological research and the culture at large. There has been a shift away from objective inquiry towards a fascination with the grotesquely emotional and the histrionic. I'd say that chimeras such as satanic ritual abuse, repressed memory therapy, and multiple personality disorder, which not so long ago received the nod from too many mainstream mental health professionals, bear this out. 2001 by Ilana Mercer Published previously in the Calgary Herald.
