He diagnosed dozens of patients with what he said were suppressed memories of being tortured by cults. He later lost his license.

Shouldn’t be paywalled since it’s crossposted from the NY TImes gift article community.

    Sick joyless fuck insisted on spreading his disease, tried his damnedest to make everyone around him as sick as he was.
    And of course, churches are the optimal environment for this shit to spread like a virus.

    I think it would be across the line to advocate that anyone piss on this guy’s grave. So I won’t.

    I guess it’s best to keep that satisfaction to ourselves, should any of us have a chance.

    I guess I’m just saying it’s nice to think about.
