For the record, I consider myself a psychologist even though I am not licensed and hold no related degrees. (But I do not “practice” on crazy people—just regular ones, like in the business world).

FWIW, I have studied far more of the psychoanalytic literature than most of the numerous psychoanalysts and other psychologists I know, and have even published a few papers in peer-reviewed journals related to psychoanalysis in culture and society.

Early childhood sexual abuse (i.e., rape) is unfortunately a very real thing. I have a friend, a forensic psychologist (licensed!), who has interviewed over 100 persons with full-blown Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder). These were children of the break-away polygamous Mormon sects in mostly rural Utah. 100% of these (mostly) women were raped by family members, repeatedly, by the age of 5.

The mind does very strange things in response to such trauma, including fabrication of false memories to replace those which are too painful to bear. Something like this could have happened to Christine Blasey Ford. Certainly her demeanor was very dissociative, and her extremely selective yet “absolute” memory, despite being contradicted by other “witnesses,” is, for me, very consistent with the hypothesis that she is a victim of early childhood sexual abuse (and that it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH KAVANAUGH).
