I'm happy to find out that case was succesful!

http://www.fmsfonline.org/fmsf03.301.html

In 1998, former patient Martha Tyo brought a lawsuit against Colin A.
Ross, M.D., and others who had treated her. That lawsuit has concluded
in a confidential settlement for an undisclosed amount. (A description
of the case is reprinted from the October, 1998, FMSF Newsletter.)
It is reported that the terms were "very favorable" to
Ms. Tyo. Once the depositions of the treating doctors were taken, it
was obvious to their lawyers that no defense existed. It has been
subsequently reported that one defendant therapist left the state and
another "retired" from practicing psychotherapy. Lawyers for the
plaintiff were R. Chris Barden of N. Salt Lake, Utah, and Stanley,
Mandel & Iola of Dallas, Texas.
This case provided another example of conducting science-intensive
litigation via experienced multidisciplinary teams.

You might be surprised to know that settlement and confidentiality agreements written by Ross' lawyers not only have gag orders inserted preventing the plaintiffs from speaking to the media about the lawsuit but also prevents the plaintiffs from providing any information in the lawsuit to the State Board of Medical Examiners.

Colin's girls were just average middle class young women from the suburbs just like most of the people who are diagnosed with MPD.
None of the ones I knew ever worked as prostitutes before they were diagnosed with MPD and began MPD therapy with Dr.Colin Ross.
None of the ones I knew ever worked as prostitutes after leaving MPD therapy with Ross. They found different therapists and were diagnosed with other problems such as depression and bi-polar, but not MPD.

At the time my fellow Ross MPD patients and I were suddenly discovering personalities that Ross told us were "prostitute personalities", 1988-1989, Ross was coincidentaly working on this paper :


Dissociation and Abuse Among Multiple Personality Patients, Prostitutes, and Exotic Dancers.
Ross, C.A., Anderson, G., Heber, S., Norton, G.R.:
Hospital and Community Psychiatry, 41(3):328-330, 1990.

Thanks for the clarification.

So basically Ross just described his patients as prostitutes to mental health and other allied professionals on the basis that "therapy" for DID had produced "prostitute alters".

This is interesting and disturbing on so many levels.

I could not access Ross's paper via the link (may be a problem with my proxy). Have you read it? If so what do you think about it?

The whole thing about Ross needing to invent "prostitute alters" is especially ridiculous as there are no shortage of people combining a career in unorthodox, woo based psychotherapies with a career in sex work.

If Ross really wanted to find a group of sex workers to interview for his papers he only needed to ask some of his colleagues in the SRA/DID camp and it could have all been sorted out quickly and efficiently.

1. The paper seems to have been "taken down" a couple years ago.
2. Ross describing patients as "prostitutes" ? Not initially, Ross created "prostitute personalities" iatrogenically in his pretty young female MPD patients. Those patients then explained to the downtown Klinic social workers that they were "Colin's girls".
3. There may have been no shortage of sex trade workers but there was a shortage of pretty young white female suburban "lab rats" available for Ross to use as "prostitutes". The real sex trade workers wouldn't have been so easy to manipulate and they would likely have completely messed up the theories he had decided upon before working on his paper.
4. Ross describing his patients as prostitutes subsequently ? Yes. He also used that as justification for subjecting us to drug experiments claiming that we had high tolerances because we were not just prostitutes but drug addicts a well, of course. That made complete sense to the other mental health care workers so then we lost a good level of patient protection.

All of the above is just horrific, but the last bit is just appalling beyond words.

It is one thing to be abused by a psychopath, another entirely to experience a group of mental health professionals suck up to the psychopath rather than protect you from his warped attentions.

Even if you were all drug addicted prostitutes in reality (and I appreciate that you were not) there is no justification for subjecting you to dangerous drug experiments. Drug addicted sex workers have human rights and should not be used as human guinea pigs.

The activities you describe are reminiscent of the activities of doctors in Nazi Germany and not in an apparently sophisticated, civilised society.

I see that Dr.Colin Ross has been testing more white women from the 'burbs and of course they have all have dissociative disorders and plenty of ritual sexual things going on in their lives but now they're just running "amok"

Dissociation and symptoms of culture-bound syndromes in north america: a preliminary study.
Ross CA, Schroeder E, Ness L.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether classical culture-bound syndromes occur among psychiatric inpatients with dissociative disorders in North America. The Dissociative Trance Disorder Interview Schedule, the Dissociative Experiences Scale, and the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule were administered to 100 predominantly Caucasian, American, English-speaking trauma program inpatients at a hospital in the United States. The participants reported high rates of childhood physical and/or sexual abuse (87%), dissociative disorders (73%), and membership in the dissociative taxon (78%). They also reported a wide range of possession experiences and exorcism rituals, as well as the classical culture-bound syndromes of latah, bebainan, amok, and pibloktoq. Our data are consistent with the view that possession and classical culture-bound syndromes are predominantly dissociative in nature and not really culture-bound from the perspective of Caucasian, English-speaking America.
