iPhone : Let’s talk about dissociation (neuroscientist perspective)
Recently a newspaper claimed that the woman accusing Christian Porter of rape was dissociating and therefore, that her story is not credible.
Let’s examine that claim with my favourite little analogy- war movies.
iPhone : Dr Karen Williams MPH FRANZCP Jess Hill Actually I don’t quote from a Sydney based psychologist at all? I’m sorry I don’t know what you’re referring to.
iPhone : MFW You don’t need to apologise at all. But I will continue to claim the freedom to write about these issues in the way I choose and I think it’s a useful discussion on the Crikey piece that claimed her memories were “freshly minted” without a great deal to back that up
iPhone : MFW Actually, I disagree. If there’s speculation repressed memory was involved, but her friends strongly deny this and say she told people before she read the book I think that’s worthy of reporting. These are issues a coronial inquest may examine.
iPhone : MFW For example, the screenshots you provide are not of the article but a bunch of people reacting I suspect to what they think it says. Reading comprehension is a lost art sometimes
iPhone : MFW I turn off replies to all tweets for legal reasons on anything that do with rape allegations. Secondly, I don’t think you’ve read the article. It provides a discussion and rebuttal from friends of claim repressed memories were involved. Perhaps read it?
iPhone : Kiera Media Watch Actually, it provides a rebuttal and discussion of some of claims. Don’t know if you’ve read it but I think it’s worth discussing friends reaction to claim they said it wasn’t correct
iPhone : Laurie Patton is The Lucky General news.com.au Well, they are quoted in article mate perhaps read it?
iPhone : Could Christian Porter Adelaide accuser been inspired by repressed memory theory? Her friends say no and her statement claims she “always remembered” but a controversial book she cited has rung alarm bells news.com.au news.com.au/national/polit…
iPhone : PM would “welcome” inquest into death of Christian Porter accuser and believes he would cooperate and give evidence if asked news.com.au news.com.au/national/polit…
iPhone : Dogs are the best people 💧🔥🐨Bee🐝🐀Opening bat for the Sewer Rats XI🏏 No it’s for legal reasons
iPhone : 💧🔥🐨Bee🐝 No, there were about I don’t know 30 minutes of vaccine questions before I asked about other things at end
iPhone : The "lying cow" comment (in relation to support offered) was reported as being made on the first day the Brittany Higgins allegations broke. It was a first response, not something said after 'a week of pressure'
iPhone : Breaking: PM is not opposed to a coronial inquest into the death of Christian Porter accuser - noting it is a matter for SA to decide - and the Attorney-General giving evidence news.com.au
iPhone : BREAKING NEW statement from Linda Reynolds over lying cow remarks and a personal apology to _ Brittany Higgins news.com.au
iPhone : Nothing about this week is straightforward, or susceptible to the kinds of blanket statements we all crave. Here's some thoughts from me. abc.net.au/news/2021-03-0…
iPhone : Why a coronial inquest into the death of Christian Porter accuser is way forward news.com.au/national/polit… news.com.au
iPhone : “We are not out for blood or to destroy anyone, we are simply out to seek justice for our friend as best as can be achieved in circumstances where she is no longer alive.”
