Not me, John. I would agree with you.

In fact, I stated that view more than a year ago, but my comment was
not well received. However, I have a slightly different reason, too.

Since abductees have been coming to me for help (about 1988), I have
dealt with one attempted suicide, two threatened suicides and numerous
cases in which the individuals clearly needed medical and psychiatric
attention. One man was certified psychotic and had actually murdered
someone because of instructions from an an alien entity.

In no uncertain terms, abductees need the care and compassion of
clinical professionals, not UFO investigators. I cannot imagine how
much damage could be done (to or by anyone) if an abductee with trauma
and some kind of psychopathology was to get "counseled" by an ardent
UFO buff. (Well, I *can* imagine what would happen, that's the
problem.)

Most abduction researchers/therapists/counselors simply do not have the
clinical expertise and knowledge to assist abductees with their
plight. I work with the cooperation of clinicians, and then only under
extreme circumstances. We're dealing with *people* here, not just UFO
witnesses. I'm very concerned that abductees may not be getting the
best care and advice.

Of course, the problem is that there are not enough trained
professionals who are sympathetic and well-versed in this subject. How
this can be resolved, I do not know.
