Illinois Tackles Repressed Memory Doctorby David Bloomberg By the time you read this article, Dr. Bennett Braun should be through the first preliminary hearing in a potentially long process that could lead to the loss of his license to practice medicine in Illinois. He was to appear before the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation on September 28 to be assigned a hearing date and present his answer to that bodys complaint against him. Braun is one of the most well-known doctors to believe in the validity of repressed memories, multiple personality disorder (MPD), and huge conspiracies of satanic cults. Indeed, he has taught a number of other therapists how to obtain and deal with "repressed memories." This complaint has a direct bearing on how those beliefs and teachings affected his patients.More |
