Quick scan shows little so far. The psych program is named after the first dean, Gordon Derner. Only weirdness about him so far is that among his personal effects in a collection of his papers appears an "EST brochure". <br><br>Clues as to what you are looking for might help.<br><br>One faculty member mentioned in a SMART newsletter (mind control, ritual abuse survivor org). The study is not real "commital" on this topic.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://members.aol.com/smartnews/Sample-Issue-51.htm">members.aol.com/smartnews...sue-51.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>(scroll to very bottom to find the entry below):<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br>Psychological assessment of adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse within a naturalistic clinical sample.

hey, thanks. it seems pretty kosher, i just wanted to know, as i met someone from their faculty (visiting here).<br><br>now if anyone is reading this message, i need some translationg. i just read jeff's post on the Markovian..., and I am readlly interested in it, but could not understand the entire two passages on the usenet disturbance etc., frankly, I don't think I understood the post (too much background missing for me and english...oh english).<br>if someone can give me a version for ESL people, that would be appreciated. <p></p><i></i>

Not sure what to make of the strange spam. It started showing up in email spam a few years ago and I have assumed that the random text (or sometimes meaningful text seemingly chosen at random from some book or something) was merely to defeat spam filters. With enough "chatter" the filters won't key in on the message as spam. But they ARE creepy and I was creeped out when I first started getting them.<br><br>And I don't understand about you and English. Your English on your blog is flawless. Do you have a cowriter? <p></p><i></i>

so Jeff was referring to these spam robots ? i felt that the ones i get are attempts to send cues and trigger programs, for sure. including the headlines, that were triggering. <br>--<br>thanks DE, coming from you, i know this is not just being polite. My English can be good, if I have time to think. I don't have cowriter or any editting, but there's a huge difference for me between writing at my own time, and the kind of exchange happening here. same goes for my level of spoken english. if I am relaxed I can almost pass as an american, but if under pressure, or lose track of a conversation, or misinterpret a word, sentence...it becomes awful, and it can stay for a while...because i lose my confidence. i think this is typical second language situation. My linguistic teacher in the university (in san franciso) said I am 90% percent there, namely, it is worth the effort to bring me to a good fluent academic level. but eventually, I didn't stay to finish the degree, so...there, my missing 10% are REALLY BAD. <br>Recently I noticed some fluctuation in my level of hebrew as well, like reading stuff I wrote a while ago...i say "wow, is this me ?...".<br><br>confession...one reason I am here, on this board, is to keep the english up and running. <p></p><i></i>
