DIANE DOWNS: MURDERER OR VICTIM YOU BE THE JURY DOCTOR CARL PETERSON Isaiah Chapter 41 Verses 10-13 Doctor Carl Peterson was contacted by Susan Staffel of Children's Services Division: Dr. Peterson letter 1.pdf The following is an "interpretation" of Dr. Peterson's notes on June 28, 1983, Dr. Peterson wrote: Dr. Peterson 2017.pdf "Not sending Christie to me to determine murderer." Another thing in this note, he sees Christie as a protector for her mother. On September 14, 1983, just two and one-half months months after therapy began, Dr. Peterson, in a letter (third paragraph) to the case worker, says: "Eventually, I anticipate that this strategy will serve to evoke sufficient anger toward the perpetrator to overcome Christy's current blockage of resistance in this area." Dr. Peterson letter 2.pdf I have a problem here because in his notes he sees Christie as the protector of her mother and now he is trying to "evoke sufficient anger toward the perpetrator" that seems to be Christie's mother, in Doctor eyes. What other perpetrator would you need to be angry at. I love my mom, so it's hard to be angry with her. I hate the guy who shot me, so it's easy to be angry with him. What perpetrator is Doctor Peterson talking about? On December 19. 1983, almost six months after she began seeing Dr. Peterson, Christie says: "I want my mom to tell the truth first--m.b. (maybe) I'll get to see her again." Dr.Peterson.2048b.pdf Now it looks like someone has been telling Christie she has to tell the truth. Christie wants to see her mom and if she tells the truth they want, then maybe she can see her mom. Who's truth did they want? In the same session, Christie says: "Even if my mom shot me, Cheryl and Danny, I'd want to go back with her cause it wouldn't happen again." (She's still trying to guess what they want her to say.) Doctor Peterson's response was: "but don't you think she'd shoot at you?---anymore"? Dr. Peterson's mission had changed (---anymore) On October 4, 1983, Dr Peterson wrote a letter to the case worker and expressed his concern that Ms. Downs "might have served a casual role": Dr. Peterson letter 3.pdf Here's what Dr. Ira Hyman has to say about this: "Dr. Peterson's beliefs about memory are clear in his deposition. When asked about memory, Dr. Peterson makes clear that he believes that the underlying memory is always there and that the client can eventually get back to the underlying memory. This runs counter to the majority of research on memory that shows that memories can be altered and after this occurs it is difficult, if not impossible, to discriminate true from erroneous memories. In addition, in his letter to Ms. Staffel dated October 4, 1983, Dr. Peterson , makes clear his concern that Christie's mother may have shot her children. When these beliefs are combined, it means that Dr. Peterson believed that Christie would eventually remember that her mother shot her and her siblings. In the course of his therapy sessions with Christie, these beliefs would have been communicated to Christie and could be the source of Christie's eventual memory."
