The LSD trip that led memories of abuse. Alexander Linklater


Hi everyone, today I'm going to talk about a piece of news that I found on the web and that is very, very interesting.

This piece of news tells the story of David, who gets a call from an aunt, saying that his sister was really bad. David called his mother and father (who were separated) to say that Hannah was hospitalized in a psychiatric clinic. David decides to travel to England and when he arrives in London gets a big surprise, his sister Hannah was amazed last week due to a prolonged psychosis, produced by LSD that she consumed on his trip to India. In the middle of this psychosis Hannah had moments of lucidity, which recalled that his father raped her since she was a child until adolescence.

What important this news is the discussion that is generated from what Hannah say. Could you may forget an event like that?, Can you remember it by means of the consume of LSD?. The researches show that the concept of repression proposed by Freud is not true, because most of the people who suffered some type of abuse, could remember it.

And maybe, in the case of Hannah, the LSD precipitated the appearance of its own iatrogenic -condition, disease, or condition caused or induced by doctors- leaving it unable to distinguish between your memories and hallucinations.


Here is the link of the news:



Bye bye
