UNM Department of Psychiatry Grand Rounds: Lenore Terr, M.D.

[@megw2359]

I read Dr Terr's book Too Scared to Cry twenty years ago and have kept it on my shelf ever since. A heavy read and fascinating. The field of psychiatry has been ignoring the effects of real, external events on people in favor of studying internal fantasies, motivations and whatnot, ever since Freud. Terr is part of a welcome shift to correct that bias, with her detailed research on traumatized children and how to recognize and help them. Before the 70s or so it just wasn't being done, at all.

Dr. Terr is amazing. She saved my child’s life.

Her career has breadth and depth, and she’s one of the only reasons we actually try to understand children and trauma.

Happened to read a book review of her book, she is amazing -- i am shocked to know the trauma given to kids -- How could a man be so so brutal..!!

What a terrifying figure! I bet it will take decades to fully comprehend the devastating impact her "repressed memory" theories had on so many innocent lives. Surprised that such a reputable institution is even endorsing her.

This woman led to the conviction of a man who was exonerated by DNA five years later when it became available. That sums up her career.

care to expand, rather than throw "mud" and then flee?
