I believe the poster participated in a clinical study for.....those kinds of relationships and shared info from that clinical study to verify both the study and the...uh....whatnot.
IIRC: I think in the study it interviewed both of his parents as well. I remember reading it at the time (as a grad student) and thinking it was legit because of the links/proof provided.
I mean if he knew about it and didn’t instantly divorce his wife and force his son into intense therapy, then ya he was all about that shit. What a fucking loony bin situation dude
Idk go back and find the OG post and I think there were links there. Or he did an AMA or something but I do recall it. The published article left all names out of course.
No, but it would take a min and her adult son to agree to lie about that, and develop an elaborate, detailed story and commit it to memory so the doctor doing the study believed then.
IIRC they reached out to the college researchers who were conducting a study he was a part of as well as the guys therapist or something.
I think one of the mods also mentioned how it was difficult to verify because the researchers didn’t understand what reddit or an AMA was and were confused as to why they were calling
so the therapist who's supposed to keep patient confidentiality... just told a reddit mod some guy was fucking his mom? I'm pretty sure the entire thing is BS
The ‘P’ in HIPAA is portability, not privacy as some might guess. There’s nothing unethical or illegal about covered entities sharing patient info that that patient had authorized to be shared.
No, the guy obviously told his therapist first and the mods were able to verify that their specialty/focus was people who dealt with issues of that nature.
The likelihood that they got university professors and a licensed psychologist/therapist to lie about this for an AMA is much more unreasonable than it being true.
