Abstract

In my response to Dr. Jack Drescher and Professor Naoko Wake, I reiterate my claim that a purported case history by Sullivan exemplifies the psychoanalytic genre of disguised autobiography. I assert that I have adduced the testimony of multiple independent and credible witnesses to establish how the 35-year-old psychiatrist began his long-term domestic relationship with 14-year-old Jimmie Inscoe. I critique Drescher for failing to take a clear ethical stand on a case of child abuse and Wake for adhering to a postmodern nihilism that negates the possibility of ever arriving at any historical truth. Both commentators ignore the copious evidence I present. I suggest that a willful blindness to contemplating unwelcome information requiring a paradigm shift in our understanding of an iconic figure lies behind their attitudes.
