CLINICAL DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN EXPECTED AND OBSERVED DATA IN PATIENTS REPORTING UFO ABDUCTIONS: IMPLICATIONS FOR TREATMENT
This is an excellent article (but not light reading) about Alien Abduction. I can never make my mind up about abductees, they're compelling, but where is the evidence something did happen, or are they just delusional?
Psychiatry interests me anyway, it's criticised for it's rigid approach to something infinitely complex, the confusion I think is that describes psychiatrists not psychiatry, which is, and always should be an interpretation of events, based on some psychiatric principles.
Theres too much of this Jung vs Freud nonsense, both had some excellent observations, but that doesn't mean one was completely right and the other wrong. Again, it shows the failure of psychiatrists rather than psychiatry.
Preamble aside, what follows is a detailed examination of Abductees and their accounts of what happened, what the author does, is point out that they do not show what would be expected if they were delusional, or had a mental illness.
