According to a bombshell report from Sean Davis of The Federalist, Dr. Ford was the co-author of a 2008 study that – get this – examined the use of ” hypnosis to “assist in the retrieval of important memories” and to “create artificial situations” for treatment.Which begs the question as to the role of such hypnosis in the memories of Ford’s evidence-free accusations of Kavanaugh and his buddy Mark Judge.
C hristine Blasey Ford, a California woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of attempted rape in
the 1980’s, co-authored an academic study that cited the use of hypnosis as a tool to retrieve memories in traumatized
patients. The academic paper, entitled “Meditation With Yoga, Group Therapy With Hypnosis, and Psychoeducation for
Long-Term Depressed Mood: A Randomized Pilot Trial,” described the results of a study the tested the efficacy of certain
treatments on 46 depressed individuals. The study was published by the Journal of Clinical Psychology in May 2008.
While the paper by Ford and several other co-authors focused on whether various therapeutic techniques, including hypnosis,
alleviate depression, it also discussed the therapeutic use of hypnosis to “assist in the retrieval of important memories” and
to “create artificial situations” to assist in treatment.
