Bennett Braun, a Chicago psychiatrist whose diagnoses of repressed memories involving horrific abuse by devil worshipers helped to fuel what became known as the “satanic panic” of the 1980s and ’90s, died on March 20 in Lauderhill, Fla., north of Miami. He was 83.
Jane Braun, one of his ex-wives, said the death, in a hospital, was from complications of a fall. Dr. Braun lived in Butte, Mont., but had been in Lauderhill on vacation.
Dr. Braun gained renown in the early 1980s as an expert in two of the most popular and controversial areas of psychiatric treatment: repressed memories and multiple personality disorder, now known as dissociative identity disorder.
He claimed that he could help patients uncover memories of childhood trauma — the existence of which, he and others said, were responsible for the splintering of a person’s self into many distinct personalities.
He created a unit dedicated to dissociative disorders at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago (now Rush University Medical Center); became a frequently quoted expert in the news media; and helped to found what is now the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation, a professional organization of over 2,000 members today.
It was from that sizable platform that Dr. Braun publicized his most explosive findings: that in dozens of cases, his patients discovered memories of being tortured by satanic cults and, in some cases, of having participated in the torture themselves.
He was not the only psychiatrist to make such a claim, and his supposed revelations keyed into a growing national panic.
The 1980s saw a vertiginous rise in the number of people, both children and adults, who claimed to have been abused by devil worshipers. It began in 1980 with the book “Michelle Remembers,” by a Canadian woman who said she had recovered memories of ritual abuse, and spiked following allegations of abuse at day care centers in California and North Carolina.
Elements of pop culture, such as heavy metal music and the role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons, were looped in as supposed entry points for cult activity.
Such stories were fodder for popular TV formats that reveled in the salacious, including talk shows like “Geraldo” and newsmagazines like “Dateline,” which broadcast segments that promoted such claims uncritically.
The psychiatric profession bore some responsibility for the growing panic, with respected researchers like Dr. Braun giving it a gloss of authority. He and others ran seminars and distributed research papers; they even gave the phenomenon a quasi-medical abbreviation, S.R.A., for satanic ritual abuse.
Dr. Braun’s inpatient unit at Rush became a magnet for referrals and a warehouse for patients, some of whom he kept medicated and under supervision for years
Among them was a woman from Iowa named Patricia Burgus. After interviewing her, Dr. Braun and a colleague, Roberta Sachs, claimed not only that she was the victim of satanic ritual abuse, but also that she herself was a “high priestess” of a cult that had raped, tortured and cannibalized thousands of children, including her two young sons.
Dr. Braun and Dr. Sachs sent Mrs. Burgus and her children to a mental health facility in Houston, where they were held apart for nearly three years with minimal contact with the outside world.
By then Mrs. Burgus, heavily medicated, had come to believe the doctors, telling them she recalled torches, live burials and eating the body parts of up to 2,000 people a year. After her parents served her husband meatloaf, she had him get it tested for human tissue. The tests came back negative, but Dr. Braun was not convinced.
Dr. Braun kept other patients under similar conditions at Rush or elsewhere. He persuaded one woman to have an abortion because, he convinced her, she was the product of ritualistic incest; he persuaded another to undergo tubal ligation to prevent having more children within her supposed cult.
The satanic panic began to wane in the early 1990s. A 1992 F.B.I. investigation found no evidence of coordinated cult activity in the United States, and a 1994 report by the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect surveyed over 12,000 accusations of satanic ritual abuse and found that not a single one held up under scrutiny.
“The biggest thing was the lack of corroborating evidence,” Kenneth Lanning, a retired F.B.I. agent who wrote the 1992 report, said in a phone interview. “It’s the kind of crime where evidence would have been left behind.”
Many people distanced themselves from their earlier enthusiasms; in 1995, Geraldo Rivera apologized for an episode of his show that covered the falsehood. However, even in 1998, the NBC series “Dateline” ran an episode claiming to show widespread satanic activity in Mississippi.
Mrs. Burgus sued Rush, Dr. Braun and her insurance company over claims that he and Dr. Sachs had implanted false memories in her head. They settled out of court in 1997 for $10.6 million.
“I began to add a few things up and realized there was no way I could come from a little town in Iowa, be eating 2,000 people a year, and nobody said anything about it,” Mrs. Burgus told The Chicago Tribune in 1997.
A year later Dr. Braun’s unit at Rush was shut down, and the Illinois medical licensing board opened an investigation into his practices. In 1999, he received a two-year suspension of his license — though he did not admit wrongdoing.
Bennett George Braun was born on Aug. 7, 1940, in Chicago, to Thelma (Gimbel) and Milton Braun. His father was a professor of orthodontics at Loyola University. He graduated from Tulane University with a bachelor’s degree in psychology in 1963 and earned a master’s in the same subject in 1964. He received his medical degree from the University of Illinois in 1968.
Dr. Braun was married three times. His marriages to Renate Deutsch and Mrs. Braun both ended in divorce. His third, to Joanne Arriola, ended in her death. He is survived by five children and five grandchildren.
After temporarily losing his medical license in Illinois, Dr. Braun moved to Montana, where he received a new state license and opened a private practice.
But in 2019, one of his patients, Ciara Rehbein, sued him for overprescribing medication that left her with a permanent facial tic. She also filed a complaint against the Montana Board of Medical Examiners for allowing him a license, despite knowing his past.
Dr. Braun lost his license to practice medicine in Montana in 2020.

Braun's BASK (Behaviour, Affect, Sensation & Knowledge) model of the continuum of dissociation, starting with normal levels (e.g. hypnosis and doing things on autopilot), to a dissociative episode (e.g. spiritual trance) to a dissociative disorder (e.g. DP/DR), to PTSD, to 'atypical' dissociative disorder (or OSDD in today's language), to atypical MPD (or OSDD-1 & P-DID), to MPD (DID, including polyfragmented DID).
He also includes physical disorders which include dissociation, such as some types of epilepsy and TBIs.
This paper was written in 1988.
- From Braun, Bennett G., 'The BASK Model of Dissociation', Dissociation vol. 1, issue 1, 1988.

I feel like sysmedicalism gets boiled down to just being anti-endo, and that's not really even the core of their beliefs. That's definitely a big part of it, but it's more of a side effect of their core beliefs. Those beliefs are:
Plurality only exists in the context of DID and similar disorders
Those disorders only ever happen as the result of trauma
Both the above points have been scientifically proven
Psychiatrists who study/treat DID, as well as the ISSTD, are more trustworthy than anyone claiming their personal experiences fall outside of what they believe "real DID" looks like
The only one of those that even might be true is the second, but I have no idea if it is or not, and it would be irresponsible to make the claim that it is without proof (correlation isn't proof, that's literally the first lesson in statistics). But what I want to focus on is the last point, because I think it explains everything else
People with DID/OSDD/etc have pretty much always been fighting an uphill battle against the general public's disbelief. This worsened significantly in the 90s. DID (then called MPD) got swept up into the Satanic Panic, and when aspects of that were disproven, everything else that got lumped in with it was assumed to be equally false. On top of that, there was a high-profile lawsuit against Bennett Braun (psychiatrist and founding member of the ISSTD) that alleged some pretty horrific abuse against a woman who claimed she was misdiagnosed and never had MPD/DID in the first place
This split the discourse. Some people condemned Braun and his associates for their treatment of their patients, and claimed that MPD/DID was made up. This is why the name was changed to DID, btw. The chair of the DSM-IV task force didn't believe it was real. On the other side of things, there were people who believed it was real, and therefore assumed everything being said about Braun and others was made up. There were some people, like those who were abused as "treatment" for MPD/DID, who believed that both plurality and the abuse were real, but they were largely ignored or silenced
Nowadays the issue is mostly simplified into "is DID real or not?". However, the idea that criticizing the ISSTD/psychiatrists who treat DID is the same as siding with the people who don't believe in it lingers. For many people newly diagnosed or discovering the online community and their place in it for the first time, these clinicians seem to be the only ones who believe their experiences are real. On top of that, there's a societal belief that being a doctor gives someone the authority to speak on medical issues in a way that being a patient doesn't. This goes doubly for anything mental health related. So these systems latch onto the ISSTD/psychiatrists and uncritically buy into everything they say (or what a game of twitter discourse telephone claims they say), even if it doesn't make sense, or if the proof just isn't there
So when they lash out at endogenic systems, or systems who claim to be people instead of parts, or any system that doesn't fit their idea of "real DID', it's because they see us as threats to their legitimacy. They think we can only be taken seriously if we go along with what the ISSTD claims. But this community has decades worth of very real reasons not to trust the psychiatrists making those claims
If you're a system whose beliefs align with the bullet points above, and you're starting to doubt the ISSTD (or even just some individual psychiatrists) because of the McLean video, take some time to look a little deeper. Look up what Bennett Braun got sued for malpractice for at least 11 times over (but be prepared, it will be triggering, it's some fucked up shit). Look up other prominent psychiatrists in this area, see how many of them have had accusations of abuse leveled against them. Try this video on Onno van der Hart, the primary contributer to the ToSD as it applies to DID (TW psychiatric abuse). And if you're starting to realize that perhaps they can't be trusted to be correct about everything, maybe it's time to consider what else they've said that's wrong

Where is your proof that ramcoa is a conspiracy theory
1. Its not documented anywhere. 2, it links back directly to the satanic panic. 3. The only website that actually talks about it is the ISSTD which the psychologists who practiced in that field with "ramcoa" survivors have had multiple lawsuits and had licenses removed. Richard Kluft is one such person.
In 1995, ISSTD's founder and former president, Bennett Braun, was sued by a former patient who claimed that Braun had falsely convinced her that she'd engaged in Satanic rituals, cannibalism, and infanticide. The patient received a $10.6 million settlement. Braun's medical license was temporarily suspended by Illinois state officials in 1999. and he was expelled from the American Psychiatric Association in March 2000.
In 2004, another former patient of Braun's, Elizabeth Gale, filed a lawsuit against Braun and Roberta Sachs, another ISSTD founder, alleging that they and their colleagues convinced Gale "that her family indoctrinated her as a child so she would make babies for sacrifice in a satanic cult." The settlement in the malpractice suit amounted to $7.5 million.
Former ISSTD president Colin Ross has also been accused by former patients of implanting false memories, including of satanic ritual abuse. Roma Hart accused Ross of convincing her, among other things, that she was forcibly impregnated by aliens and later gave birth to a half-alien, half-human hybrid.[53][54] Another former patient, Martha Ann Tyo, sued Ross and others in 1998, alleging that the defendants' methods led her to believe her family was part of an "extended, transgenerational satanic cult."

SAN DIEGO - On a Tuesday afternoon about two years ago, psychiatrist Dr. Neal A. Kline was awaiting his next patient, a middle-age, modestly dressed and very literate woman we will call Ruth.
Five minutes to the hour she appeared. She wore a cocktail dress, hovered uncerainly in the doorway and refused repeated invitations to sit down. Perplexed at this confusing behavior in a patient he had been treating for depression for four months, Kline finally insisted that she take her usual seat.
The patient arched an eyebrow. "I'm surprised you have any practice at all when I see how rude you are. Is this how you treat all your new patients?" she said. "And by the way, are you Dr. Kline?"
It is not often in the life of a psychiatrist that such a bombshell drops. Suddenly, it all made sense. Her unusually regal air that day. The unexpected attention to fashion. The flirtatious looks.
Kline took a deep breath, drew on all accumulated wisdom and inquired cautiously: "Now that you know my name, what's yours?"
"My name," she said, "is Raquel."
Thus it was that Kline first realized he was not dealing with a depressive, but with a person suffering from multiple personality disorder - that condition in which the patient periodically shifts into different personalities of which the "host" personality has absolutely no memory.
IT IS A condition he, along with the majority of psychiatrists, had never seen. And what he had witnessed - appearance of Raquel in the place of Ruth - flew in the face of medical skepticism on the subject of multiple personalities. "If you haven't seen on," he said, "you don't believe it's true. It's like being converted almost. It's not the kind of disorder you talk a neutral party into believing.
Yet Kline persisted, became an authority on the subject and eventually presented a paper last fall at the First International Conference on Multiple Personality/Dissociative States held in Chicago, a seriously organized event attended by 500 professionals.
The fact is that multiple personality disorder - dramatized in such sesational movies as "Three Faces of Eve" and "Sybil" - does exist.
In fact, said psychiatrist Dr. Bennett G. Braun, director of the dissociative disorders program at Rush Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago, and an organizer of the conference, "There's a lot more out there than people think."
Study focused on multiple personality disorder during the past five years has given rise to some potentially significant observations:
-Those who suffer from the disorder usually are creative, intelligent women with a good working memory, an ability to dissociate (that is, divorce their awareness from a source of extreme pain) and a background (almost 97% are victims of sadistic child abuse).
-THE VARIOUS personalities of such those with the disorder display such amazing differences in allergy levels, electroencephalogram readings and sensitivity to medication that they point to new implications for psychosomatic medicine.
Braun estimates there now are about 4,000 known cases in the United States and the figure is rising rapidly as doctors become familiar with the diagnosis, although the exact number is impossible to ascertain.
According to Dr. Frank Putnam, who researches the disorder at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D.C., instances have been reported since the 1700s and numerous case studies were published at the turn of this century. At that time, however, the new diagnosis of schizophrenia, which is characterized by hallucinations and disordered thinking, came into fashion and many multiple personalities were mistakenly diagnosed as schizophrenic. In the late 1970s, Putnam said, "cases in the medial literature started to take off again."
Recently, several prestigious psychiatric journals have published such articles. And in 1980, the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorder (the standard classification of mental diseases) elevated multiple personality disorder from a subcategory of hysteria to a bona fide dissociative disorder of its own, with specific diagnostic criteria.
The disorder is described as the existence within the individual of two or more distinct personalities, each of which is dominant at a particular time, each of which is complex and possessed of its own unique behavior patterns and social relationships.
SAID KLINE, who is an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California at San Diego School of Medicine, amnesia, or "blackouts" occur between the host personality and the sub-personalities, although there may be varying degrees of awareness of each other among those.
"Each of us can say, 'I was in a good or bad mood' As long as you remember it, you're not a multiple personality" he said. "A multiple has no memory of events going on when another personality takes over."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
His multiple personality patient, Kline discovered, turned out to have three main personalities - Ruth, the depressed, victimized "host" personality; Raquel, the flirtatious, sexy woman with a yen for world travel, and Regina, the mature, prudent observer. In addition, there are the occasional personalities of a little girl named Ricki and a woman like her immigrant mother. (To protect the confidentiality of Kline's patient, all names have been changed.)
It is extremely distressed, not to say maddening, condition to be in, Kline said, particularly since Ruth often is stuck paying the bills for trips Raquel took and of which she has no memory.
At one point, Kline received postcards from all over South America from his patient's various lesser personalities. "I do want to live!" wrote Raquel, in one. "I, too, would like to live," Regina penned below. "And me, what about me?" squealed Ricki. "I want to live, too!"
"HARDLY A week goes by where there are seven complete days she remembers," said Kline, who is used to getting desperate phone calls from his patient when she "wakes up" at remote airports. "Sometimes it's four to five days, sometimes one and a half, sometimes a few hours. Sometimes she takes long trips where she disappears for three weeks. If she has a whole week she remembers, she considers that a victory."
He went on: "Her basic mood from all this is one of constant depression. Her life is constantly in shambles and debt. She can never do the simple things we all take for granted, like getting a steady job and seeing a steady person. She's become an isolated person who has to live by some sort of after-the-fact wit to cover all the problems that she's just as surprised to find out about as anybody. It's no life, that's the bottom life."
Ruth was severely abused as a child and according to Braun, it is frequent, unpredictable and inconsistent abuse, along with exposure to some kind of love, that drives a child to begin the patterns of dissociation that eventually coalesce in a number of different, defensive personalities designed to deal with the trauma.
Abused children who do not develop multiple personality disorder usually use suppression and denial measures to defend themselves, often becoming adults with some type of sexual dysfunction and inability to experience joy, according to Braun. In contrast, patients with multiple personalities usually split off into personalities that are allowed these pleasures.
THE ABUSE to which multiple personality disorder patients were subjected to as children often is sadistic, bizarre and ritualistic. Braun knows of cases where a child was locked up in a room for three summer months, or forced to walk to the hospital with a ruptured appendix; where a child was told, "I love you," and then burned with a cigarette, or dangled out of a skyscraper window or forced to sit in her own excrement. One child's mother tried to drown her in the bathtub. Another was forced to witness several bizarre murders.
Overwhelmingly traumatic early conditions such as many hospitalizations in early years, or a series of deaths in the family, along with verbal degradation, distortions of truth, and "double bind" messages (wherein a child is told, "I love you" right after a beating, for example) all can weaken the hold on reality and force dissociation.
This ability of the human mind to block out pain by going into altered states of consciousness has become the subject of scientific research. In studies for the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Md., and St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Putnam subjected patients with multiple personality disorder and a control group to a type of electroencephalogram study called an "evoke potential."
He found that the brain waves of the controls remained the same, even when they pretended to be different personalities. In starting contrast, the brain wave readings of the patients with multiple personality disorder showed marked differences between the various personalities.
THE STUDIES indicated, said Braun, "the personalities are as different as two separate people in different bodies
 The implications are that we have great variability in our nervous system and in our being that we don't exhibit generally.
Braun discovered that he could put a patient to sleep by administering 5 milligrams of a tranquilizer, while a dosage of 30 milligrams given intravenously to the same person in a different personality mode would have only the mildest calming effect.
He told of the case of a male multiple personality who was allergic to citrus juices in all personalities but one. If this personality ate an orange and remained in control of the body long enough to digest the orange, no ill effects would occur. However, if he switched to a different personality too soon, a rash that itched and blistered often would result.
Said Kline, "there are implications for psychosomatic medicine here.. This makes it clear that psyche (mind) can control soma (the body), and soma can control psyche."
Treating the psyche of a patient with multiple personality disorder involves uncovering traumatic incidents from the past and creating options for the personality fragments to coalesce into a more integrated adult personality. Sometimes hypnosis is helpful as a way of reaching painful, buried memories.
But the treatment is not easy. "It's not the kind of thing that comes clean fast," said Kline. "You're trying to uncover some early memories for which there is usually amnesia. When you provoke any conflict areas, there's a reflex built in to switch to another personality at those moments.
"WHEN YOU try to deal with individual personalities and reduce their power, they fight back because they feel they're being killed by whatever therapy is going on. So the ambition of fusion - mixing the personalities into some kind of cohesive whole - is in fact the exact direction the person has the reflex to flee from."
As Kline pointed out in the paper he gave at the conference, treating a multiple personality - replete with conflicting behaviors and double messages - also can be a disorienting experience for the therapist. Still, if a patient is lucky enough to have a doctor who will be patient, the chances of recovery after two to seven years of therapy are considered excellent.
As for Ruth, therapeutic work continues on uncovering the painful events of her childhood. She still has periods where her other personalities "get out," after which she despairs of recovery. Kline, however, thinks things may be looking up. She announced to him one day recently, "I know what I have to do to get better. All I have to do is start acting like Raquel when I'm really being Ruth."
Said Kline, "that was really brilliant. That's what integration is all about.
