(1999). “Iatrogenic dissociative identitydisorder - an evaluation of the scientific evidence”. The Journal of Psychiatryand Law XXVII No. 3-4 (Fall-Winter 1999):549–637. p. 604 - 605 “The problem withMcHugh’s publications on MPD/DID, like those of Mersky, is that they are merespeculation. From deposition testimony in several cases, McHugh has made it clearthat other than an occasional consultation, he has very little actual clinicalexperience with the ongoing treatment of MPD/DID patients and is generallyunfamiliar with both the clinical features of MPD/DID and with what usually occursin their treatment. This McHugh’s opinion is informed neither by actual in-depthclinical experience with contemporary MPD/DID patients nor by any scientificresearch on MPD. Furthermore, with regard to McHugh’s main hypothesis thathysterical behavior is implicated in DID iatrogenesis, Gleaves has shown that suchphenomena are no more prevalent in DID than in any other psychiatric condition.”(Gleaves, D.

Math 9/21/02 “McHugh’sactions…pose the deepest threat to the council’s credibility. McHugh is the onlytherapist on the lay council. This makes his participation especially significant,because other members may rely on his presumed expertise. Because he frequentlytestifies on behalf of accused molesters, doubts may be raised about the council’sdesire to truly solve the problem. McHugh…is the man whose report to the court inone case stated that a defendant’s harassing phone calls were not obscene -including the call that detailed a fantasy of a 4-year-old sex slave locked in adog cage and fed human waste. At least eight men have been convicted of sexuallyabusing Maryland children while under treatment at the “sex disorders” clinicMcHugh runs at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine - abuse the doctors didnot report, citing client confidentiality. When Maryland law was changed torequire that doctors report child molestation, the clinic fought it and advisedpatients on how to get around the law. The memo to patients suggested thatmolesters report their pedophilic activities to their lawyers, who could in turntell staff; attorney-client privilege would then protect the molesters from beingreported. This memo was fully approved by the boss - Dr. Paul McHugh…”http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2002/09/20/ED175849.DTL
