title: Post-traumatic stress disorder and the lost memory syndrome.
abstract: A number of different symptoms may result as the reaction to severe stress. It is unjustified to assume that specific disorders, such as bulimia, multiple personality, borderline personality, etc., are caused by specific early childhood trauma. Fadism is harmful to the patient and the medical profession.
