Rogan: Sure, make a post on it, would happily link it so folks know where the citation came from!
So, the reason Ross gives me the creeps (and I avoid citing him when I can, despite his little tin god status) is because he got ran out of Canada for malpractice. I haven't dug into that, though I give a brief summary here, because it's 500 pages of medical malpractice and False Memory Syndrome Foundation bullshit, which is a LOT of shit to wade through that's especially upsetting for me. But he's also been independently sued for malpractice over false memory stuff.
We could've ended up under his care, since he moved his practice to Dallas and our folks went through a "maybe you need a hospital" period while we lived near there. So there's also personal baggage.
EDIT: also, this statistic gets thrown around a LOT in DID lit. As you saw just through me trawling what I had on hand, it was in self-help books, books by therapists, the DSM... we read it all over the place, back in the day, and I think it's just sorta been tacitly swallowed into the knowledge gestalt, even though its source is rarely cited. I just felt kinda weird about it, even before I had any reason to be suspicious of Ross.
