The most disturbing part of this doctor’s testimony was her implying that women are ALWAYS the victim and men are ALWAYS the abuser. smh

She admitted earlier that men could be victims too but then proceeded to use pronouns in every description painting women as the victim.

[@lousvdg327]

As a psychologist I feel so ashamed watching this video, this woman is an embarrassment to the psychology workfield. There are no tests what so ever that can tell what abusive behaviour took place. It's not our place to say anything about whether a person is guilty or not. And let's not forget that tests can be easy to manipulate if you wish for a certain outcome.

[@bethanyh.9489]

Even if you were an amazing psychologist you would never have the level of qualifications and experience that this doctor has. Let's be honest, you're just another Depp groupie.

[@whitneywestbrook4412]

How do you feel about her assertion that the PTSD was caused by her relationship with Johnny and not by her abusive childhood? Do you feel comfortable determining causation like that in practice? I’ve never met a HCP that did. That surprised me.

There are many more you could be ashamed for.

[@schedulingfwat2.082]

Can you point me to a timestamp in the video where Dr. Hughes states there's a test Amber took indicating Johnny is guilty? She is speaking in absolute generalities. That is, unless I've missed something and you can provide said timestamp?

[@MzSavvykool]

My comments too testify to that. I’m so glad to see others of us out there setting the record straight so that the practice of psychological evaluation and treatment does not appear unscientific easily biased and unfounded by years of rigorous research. I also hope people don’t go away with the idea that two different therapists can see something completely different because in fact treatment and diagnosis is based on research markers and because the patient’s coping and wellness and any others who they may harm are supposed to be our focus we should not be open to contradiction easily or to disregarding a colleague’s assessment unless we have facts about their skills and clinical practices that suggest their opinions are unfounded. She is a disgrace and a fraud. I would not trust anyone’s mental well being in her hands. And I don’t know either professional her or Dr. Curry but the very different ways in which they both described their findings and the ease with which Dr. Curry backed up her conclusions without trying to elicit bias and not needing to refer to notes or cite alleged incidents showed Dr. Curry’s objectivity, which this woman did not show to me. In my educated and personal opinion on the subject matter.

[@YoungKrieger]

Her constant use of "she" as a synonym for "victim" and "he" as a synonym for "abuser" was absolutely disgusting. And that started way before talking about this particular case, but when she was talking how things are in general. She couldn't even use 2 common names when she wanted to put names in a hypothetical scenario, and used "Amber" and "Johnny" instead.. This has been the most unprofessional and biased testimonial by far in this trial..

[@CharlesMcManus]

I have a Masters Degree in Psychology, and this “expert” witness did not call into question the MMPI -2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory). It was this test that Psychologist Shannon Curry used to determine that Heard had Cluster “B” personality traits, namely Borderline and Histrionic. This is an objective test, and it has been highly peered reviewed over decades. From my perspective Dr. Hughes was not following the evidence.

[@jessicamarie42503]

Agreed.

[@monette7819]

Thank you for you're insight ☺👏👏

[@standuser9696]

The only problem I could see with Dr. Curry (imo, also I don't know anything so please correct me) is she couldn't easily say off hand if any of the scores were over 65. If I remember correctly, 50-65 is WNL but under 50 or over 65 is outside normal limits? I would think that should stand out to her since she labeled her with the 1,3 (I believe) which would have been most damning for AH given the case. And even if she didn't remember the number exactly, shouldn't she have like...studied it or tried to memorize it a little more? I'm not criticizing her because I'm not a doctor or anything nor do I have a degree in psych, just something that interests me and I'd love to have input from people who know more about it.

[@gerryjordan2791]

@@lisacarol1433 My background exactly. Out of three siblings I was the only one who would take his side, so of course I received her wrath. Once she and my then 11 year old nephew travelled 8000 miles to visit me. I had not seen her in 13 years. We spent the first evening until the wee small hours catching up and I really thought this might be a great holiday after all. Next morning we were both sipping coffee in my bedroom while I was fixing my hair, when she started screaming and calling me awful names. She actually danced her legs the way three year olds do when they want to get their own way. She was a tall woman, 5'11", so you can imagine! She was insane!! Eventually she was able to verbalise her disgust at me. My late father's photograph was sitting on my dressing table and when she saw it she lost the plot. . She ranted on for an hour or so, and then stopped talking to me for the next 8 days. After that I had another 2 weeks of her delightful company, but with that old familiar depressed anxious feeling from childhood, which up until then, I had managed to suppress. No amount of explaining that she may have thought him a bad husband, he was still my father and I loved him. 😥

@@gerryjordan2791 Putting kids in those types of situations is just wrong.. I hope you got far enough away from her to heal. My mom is 89 now and just as abusive as she was when I was a kid.

My mom does not see what she has done and will never admit it. My dad killed himself when I was 14, she had twisted him up so bad, he didn't have anything left to live for. She destroyed 2 more men after him. Now she is one much younger then her and as hateful and abusive as her. So they slander everyone together and tell each other how worthless they are.

@@marks2997 I don't think she saw her role in this trial as one of advocacy, as she did more than what is necessary to assess Amber and her conclusions are pretty watertight, based on 29 hours of assessment with 12 psychometrically validated tools, lengthy interviews with others, scrutinising records, and interview with Amber. It's hard to poke a hole at where she might have interpreted something wrongly, even if one disagrees with her conclusions. But nevertheless, she is probably also an advocate for victims of violence (most clinicians would be, including Dr Curry).

Dr Dawn Hughes has been treating AH so her opinion is by default swayed towards AH. As Dr Shannon Curry has stated, it is considered unethical in her field for a treating psychiatrist to be used as expert witness as compared to a forensic psychiatrist because a treating psychiatrist will naturally feel the need to protect someone under his/her care. And to back it up with facts, Dr Shannon Curry was talking about the tests she did, the interviews and what it all means for the jury to understand. For the most part, Dr Dawn Hughes was simply reiterating what AH told her, without a shred of physical evidence. Do you not see the irony?

She contradicts herself, says that 'biased' should not be in the way of their evaluation, and yet assigns the role of victim to women and that of perpetrator to men. She keeps saying 'women vs men'. That is not fair, it is biased. It should be "victim and perpetrator". Her knowledge is accurate, the problem is that she exchanged the roles. She is describing everything that happened to Johnny as a victim, not to Amber. She is clearly in a mission against gender (note that she basically only works for women). She dares to make an evaluation of the person that her client is accusing, without ever having spoken to him and evaluating him directly. So much knowledge to not 'conveniently' know that psychopaths accuse their victims of the abuses they themselves perpetuated. They learn to act before others like their victim acts in private, and assigns their abusive behavior to their victim. Survivors are clearly not safe with this psycho-logist. Notice how she says "eww" when the lawyer gets confused and calls her Dr. Curry. Who does that?. And her 'annoyed' demeanor. That's not professional, it is psychotic and aggressive. Too many psychopaths infiltrated in the field of psychology too. I hope the jury has a foundation of knowledge in human behavior and can see that after all the evidence that points to Amber's malignancy--one must have to be willfully ignorant to not even see how her entire team does not possess a moral compass.

She should be aware of the fact that people can indeed lie no matter which gender but apparently this does not cross her mind.

[@panosthedarkwolf]

She is known to be a "feminist". Notice how she only refers to women as victims and to men as the abusers.

[@Birdman707]

I knew after about an hour of watching this woman what her game is. She very clearly has a personal bias against men. She personally believes men are perpetrators and women are victims, and has made it her life work to defend women no matter what. She doesn’t care about the truth she cares about hurting men. I would imagine she’s unmarried as well although that’s just a guess.

[@mckenziecartercameron5762]

Agreed. The entire time she kept referring to victims as "her"...never once made a gender-neutral statement. I was thinking, well that's pretty unprofessional. As we all have heard the damning testimony it is clear men are victims too, and that Johnny is the victim in all of this.

[@dashy1009]

Was thinking the same

[@yukimikiab]

I hope all those organizations consider dropping her as a member after this testimony.

[@jancarmy5749]

She always refers to “He” when she describes the abuser. That’s wrong and unprofessional.

[@joaniebalonie707]

Her attitude is very off putting. She seems very biased to me and she is stating things she heard only from amber and was not an actual witness to the things being stated (hearsay). Also why was she so angry? (Watched the trial live btw). Just because something was repeated to u from someone doesn’t make it true unless you have evidence or u were an actual witness. Also forgot to add, I am a real sa survivor and to me, it seems as though amber’s reaction to someone else telling her story doesn’t seem real or genuine. Why on earth would u, as a victim, allow someone else to tell your story? Perhaps it’s because she believes this “expert” can say it better because she’s already passionate about the subject and is her personal advocate

[@lauraharakawa7517]

Yes! I thought the same! (I’m a survivor too).

[@yilz123]

EXACTLY!!!

[@simplyplaid]

Might be that AH wont take the stand and they wanted her "testimony" out there?!

[@Daintyangelx]

you worded it perfectly !

[@dorothywhelchel885]

It's a forensic examination. She can discuss anything that is admitted into evidence. The prior depositions and UK testimony is already been admitted into evidence which she was required to review as part of the forensic examination process.

[@aiylaozdemir3143]

I want to see a live debate in court between this doctor and Dr Curry. I feel that Dr Curry would like to face her in person and embarrass her just like she embarrassed Amber's lawyer AKA Mrs Muffins.

[@4-dman464]

The only thing Dr Curry has said wrong in her entire testimony was "...So my husband..." I found that crushing.

[@amusement420]

@@4-dman464 Very true. She should have just called him Mr. Lucky. But one could always pay big money to her for a psychological evaluation of how crushing it truly was. (Just remember to take muffins)

[@francescarobison691]

Will Dr Curry take the stand again to refute this testimony?

[@mabelregimal5407]

Agreed, and I would like to see a panel of judges rate both sides of the debate.

[@songhenry1084]

Lmao mrs muffin

[@username.not.known2473]

I wonder how Dr. Hughes will be impacted upon when the court finds in Depp's favour. She is very slick and persuasive, but I think she has uncritically accepted the veracity of Amber's statements to her. As a feminist, I strongly object to her CONSTANT use of feminine language to depict victimhood. Feminism includes the recognition that patriarchy negatively impacts men as well as women.

[@raminawade4971]

That lady is off topic completely. Please provide FACTS. That are based ON TRUTH not your personal opinion or generic information that doesn't reflect the story of this case.
