False Memory and Buridan’s Ass Description: False Memory and Buridan’s Ass: A Response to Karlin and Orne.
Abstract
According to the Karlin and Orne position supporting the per se exclusion rule for hypnotized witnesses, a person who has been lobotomized can testify in court, a person who has received massive electroshock treatments can testify in court, a person who has taken enormous dosages of mind-altering psychiatric drugs or psychedelics can testify in court, a person who has suffered substantial organic brain damage can testify in court; but a person who had been competently hypnotized by an experienced licensed professional who carefully followed strict guidelines to avoid undue suggestions, cannot testify in court.
This paper rejects the Karlin and Orne position supporting per se exclusion on scientific and policy grounds; and it argues that the currently prevailing expert opinion of forensic hypnosis specialists, in the United States and abroad, also rejects the per se exclusion. In addition, this paper argues that Karlin and Orne are mistaken in their conclusions that
hypnosis always contaminates memory, repressed memory does not exist there is a recognized practice or school of thought called “recovered memory” therapy, and multiple personality disorder (MPD) or dissociative identity disorder (DID) is always iatrogenic.
