I must admit to not having paid much attention...Hi<br /><br />I must admit to not having paid much attention to this area. I have read articles in the English Fortean Times magazine about the English "Social Worker" panics; and suggested in print the idea that perhaps the "alien abduction" phenomenon has nothing to do with the UFO phenomenon. In the latter case, one can certainly look at the abduction phenomenon as purely constructed by UFO researchers confusing accounts derived from hypnagogic imagery; fantasy-prone personality, and sleep paralysis, together with the historical views of succubus and incubus, and "creating" alien abductions.<br /><br />I will now take a look at some of Ian Hacking's works, so thank you for putting me in touch with this information.Keith Basterfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05367372091711887711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040353126484409527.post-91860139632358536642010-10-23T08:46:36.910+10:302010-10-23T08:46:36.910+10:30Thanks for posting this.

I've been slowly working my way through Psychological Inquiry Vol 7 No 2 (1997) and your work is cited frequently.<br /><br />Have you or your colleagues looked into the (possible) social construction of this phenomena? I've recently read Ian Hacking's books on MPD (1995) and dissociative fugue (1998) and the similarities with AAS are astonishing.Terry the Censorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361088223337740598noreply@blogger.com
