Justice for Carol

Editors note: readers may find
some content disturbing.

The Justice for Carol web site was launched on
30 January 2011. It draws attention to my
sister’s complete mental collapse following two
decades of recovered memory therapy, prior to
her premature death in 2005, aged 41. Carol
was estranged from the family: she made the
occasional telephone call and sent Christmas
and Birthday Cards, but she drifted away and
severed contact after commencing therapy. Out
of the blue, in June 2005, she rang my brother
to say that she was lonely and unhappy and
wanted to move back to the Stockport (Greater
Manchester) area to permanently re-establish
contact with her family. One week later, she
was dead. We do not know the cause of her
death because the Inquest returned an Open
Verdict. While Justice for Carol provides a
chronological outline of events, as my brother,
Richard, has written:

What is missing from it is the pain, suffering
and misery inflicted on us. There’s a com-
pletely different personal side to this story that
gives a wholly new perspective to the course of
events described, and the interactions with the
various actors in this narrative. ln reality, our
story is so extraordinary most people on hear-
ing it would instantly dismiss it as being unbe-
lievable, if it were not the case that we can
support every claim we make with fact and
documentation". They will ask themselves,
how could it happen? We live in the 21st Cen-
tury; surely there are checks and balances in
place to protect the vulnerable from the un-
scrupulous behaviour of high ranking profes-
sionals in positions of power? There are, but
they were systematically ignored time after
time, after time, after time, over an entire 20
year period .... I can tell you that the website
tells the truth, but misses out on another di-
mension altogether of what it is like to dis-
cover the despicable behaviour of these indi-
viduals, to speak to them, to hear their eva-
sions, to receive their letters containing down-
right lies, and to face one obstruction after
another from every single authority that is
supposed to act on the part of truth, justice and
humanity. These people are without pity, and
need to be exposed, to uncover the truth about
Carol’s life and death, to find out if this has
happened to anyone else, and to prevent it
from happening ever again...

Our pain and suffering has not been alleviated
by the acquisition of Carol's voluminous psy-
chiatric notes, which run to several thousand
pages and were finally released to my father in
June 2012, following a number of protracted
inquiries instigated by various members of our
family. We now know exactly what happened
to Carol and her notes show that she experi-
enced a devastating mental breakdown after
commencing therapy in the mid 1980s. Plagued
with mental health problems thereafter, she
was depressed, suicidal, self-harmed and spent
most of the 1990s in and out of various psychi-
atric institutions. Carol was sectioned repeat-
edly and placed on the Mental Health Register
in June 1992. My family were completely un-
aware of Carol’s mental deterioration (which
was conducted in total secrecy from us and
supported with vast quantities of medication
and psychotropic drugs). Prior to commencing
therapy, Carol’s mental health was exemplary.

According to her medical notes, Carol’s problems
began in 1986 when she presented to her doctor
with repeated headaches. As one specialist put it,
Her headaches could well represent migraine but
may well be associated with the recent tension of 
the run up to her finals. She was a pupil nurse
at this time. In every other respect, her health
was normal and another consultant who exam-
ined Carol gave her a clean bill of health.

Carol’s headaches persisted, however, and her
doctors could not pinpoint an underlying physi-
cal cause. In consequence, she was referred for
therapy to ascertain if her symptoms were in
fact psychological. The input of her therapists
had an immediate and disastrous impact on
Carol and our family, resulting in the oblitera-
tion of a hitherto normal family life.

Following two sessions of recovered memory
therapy Carol was encouraged to make disclo-
sures of Satanic Ritual Abuse which   sup-
posed to have begun in early childhood and
continued into adulthood. Carol’s real memo-
ries were subsequently eroded and then com-
pletely erased. Carol told one treating psychia-
trist that: "the abuse started aged 21'3 years"
but she did not recall it until (her) early twen-
ties."

CHAPTER 20 – Dr Fisher and Recovered Memory Therapy

Carol’s medical notes are horrendous, revealing a pattern of self-destructiveness at the hands of a shadowy network of delusional therapists. The records of Carol’s protracted psychotherapy are missing – yet her therapists are alluded to time and time again by Carol’s doctors and psychiatrists. The onset of Carol’s terminal decline began in 1985 when Carol was aged 21 and working in full time employment as a nurse. Carol complained to her doctor about reoccurring headaches and was then referred on to a specialist for further examination.

Mr I

Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon

5 November 1985

Thank you for asking me to see this nurse who you saw recently, because of an ocular problem but at the same time, she described intermittent headaches and you noted a heart murmur. Her main worry is about her vision and headaches, which she describes as right frontal headaches, sometimes preceded by slight blurring of vision but without any definite flashing lights. These attacks are quite severe and may be associated with light sensitivity. She has tried analgesins without benefit. Her symptoms have been worse for the last few months, during which time she has been studying for her finals which she has just taken, and at that time her attacks have occurred once every week or so. During this period, she has also been noted to have a rather labile blood pressure... I gather previously her G.P. readings have been low normal. There is a moderate family history of hypertension, and I gather one brother had possible migraine. She previously was a moderate smoker but has given up recently.

On examination she was slightly overweight and anxious, pulse 80 regular, blood pressure 145/85, repeat 145/90. Heart sounds normal... Chest (was) clear. Rest of the physical (was) examination normal including neurological examination.

I feel the murmur is benign and of no haemodynamic significance. In addition her blood pressure seems labile rather than definitely suggesting true hypertension. Her headaches could well represent migraine but may well be associated with the recent tension of the run up to her finals...

Mr L

Consultant Physician

To sum up, in 1985 Carol presented with nothing more than a common headache – which appeared to be symptomatic of migraine or examination stress as her studying intensified. The ‘brother’ who suffered from migraine was David. He was admitted to hospital for tests. The headaches were diet-related and he was advised to cut back on dairy products.

Apart from headaches, the notes show that Carol’s health was otherwise unremarkable. She had mild blood pressure, which was not thought to be serious. Carol’s headaches persisted, however, as is made clear from the following (unsigned) letter:

23 June 1986

Dear Mr L

Re: Carol Felstead (DOB 08.06.64)

I recently saw this 22 year-old nurse. Thank you for your letter and photocopies of previous investigations. I note the history of labile blood pressure. She continues to have diffuse dull headaches, approximately once per week. There is no diurnal variation and although she feels nauseated with the headache, there is no vomiting. There is no visual disturbance, nor aura, and the headaches are poorly relieved by analgesics. She made no other complaints. There appears to be no past history or family history of any significance.

Physical examination was essentially normal and her blood pressure in the right arm was 120/85.

That statement, ‘there appears to be no past history or family history of any significance,’ is a vital piece of evidence which demolishes the preposterous false history summarized in the Life Assessment document. There was no mention of Satanic Abuse, no mention of Carol being abused and being impregnated by members of a Satanic cult, nor was there any suspicion that Carol had been mute, neglected, maltreated or forced into child prostitution. There is no grey area here. Consultant doctors examined Carol and concluded that her health was perfectly normal, and so was her childhood and family history. From where, then, did those wild allegations about Satanic Ritual Abuse and infanticide originate?  It is at this point that Dr Fisher enters the narrative.

The following letter was the first in the notes to make reference to Dr Fisher’s influence over Carol and to the early formation of a systemic smear campaign against us by Dr Fisher and her associates who sought desperately to promote the concept of recovered memory therapy.

27 November 1986

Re: Carol Felstead DOB 8. 6. 64

This 22 year-old is a nurse, at present at Barnes Hospital.... In September, she required to see Dr Fisher for psycho-sexual counselling about a family problem, and I think these problems may have some bearing on her symptoms. It is difficult to say how much. Also in September, she saw Mrs T who gave her a clean bill of health.

Thank you for seeing her.

Mr S

Consultant Surgeon

So Carol was examined by another medical consultant who could not find anything wrong with her. In fact Mrs T ‘gave Carol a clean bill of health.’ That statement provides further independent evidence that Carol’s health was perfectly normal, prior to receiving psychotherapy and psychiatric input. In spite of concrete medical evidence to the contrary, Dr Fisher was supposed to be treating Carol for a so-called ‘family problem’, the nature of which is unspecified. That is not surprising because it didn’t exist.

The term ‘psycho-sexual counselling’ is not defined in Carol’s notes. On the surface, it appears to suggest that Carol was receiving counselling from Dr Fisher for a sexual problem. But we now know that was not the case, because Dr Fisher defined her treatment in interview with investigative journalist Will Storr, published in the Observer Magazine in December 2011. The passages quoted below are fundamental to understanding the origins of Carol’s subsequent physical and mental collapse.

From the article:

Finally, we get to the question of whether Carol’s memories of satanic abuse were recovered. Initially Fisher refuses to speak about Carol. “I have a duty of confidentiality, even after a patient has died. I was never her psychiatrist or psychotherapist or anything like that.” She raises her voice. “I’m not a psychotherapist, for God’s sake.”

Will Storr: “According to her medical notes, she saw you for counselling,” I say.

Dr Fisher: “No.”

Will Storr: “I have the letter here, dated 27 November 1986, that says: ‘She required to see Dr Fisher for psychosexual counselling.’”

There’s a silence.

Dr Fisher: “Psychosexual is the wrong term.... “

Will Storr: “What’s the correct term?”

Dr Fisher: “Uh, I really don’t know. People come and tell you things that have happened to them.”

Will Storr: “Things like abuse?”

Dr Fisher: “Things that have happened to them,” she repeats crossly. “I’m not saying anything else. It’s not right that this woman’s privacy should be breached in this way.”

Will Storr: She’s shouting now.

Dr Fisher: “She’s dead! She’s goddamned dead.”

Will Storr: “Was she (Dr Fisher) ever worried that Carol had lapsed into fantasy?”

Dr Fisher: “Never, never.” she says.

Will Storr: “By 1997,” I tell her, “Carol was claiming a government minister had raped her with a claw hammer in Conservative Central Office.”

Dr Fisher: “That’s not something I knew about,” she says. “It may have been fantasy. I couldn’t say. In general she was a common-sense woman.”

Will Storr: “Are you aware of any evidence that any of Carol’s claims actually happened?”

Dr Fisher: “I never looked for any evidence.”

Will Storr: “Then what made you believe her?”

Dr Fisher: “She’s not the only patient I’ve had who told the same kind of stories.”

Will Storr: “About Ritual Abuse?”

Dr Fisher: “It turned out to be that, yes. The people didn’t remember at first. They weren’t aware. They were memories they’d had a long time and they just came out.

Let’s consider what Dr Fisher said to Will Storr. At first she pretended that she did not give Carol psychotherapy – conceding that point only when the journalist quoted directly from Carol’s medical files. Dr Fisher admitted that she did not bother to check Carol’s therapeutically-induced claims against the facts (“I never looked for any evidence”), yet following Carol’s death she gave copies of Carol’s Life Assessment to officers from the Metropolitan Police Service and Battersea Coroner’s Court. It is worth reiterating that the allegations contained in the Life Assessment were meant to have been the defining traumas of Carol’s life:

At three years of age, my mother smothered my sister who was born with Down’s syndrome; she sat me on top of her and then set the house on fire... I became pregnant from the age of eleven onwards and endured several abortions (as part of the abuse), which were consequently sacrificed...

Another document in Carol’s medical file alleged that Carol:

... Suffered extensive physical and sexual abuse in the past.... She claimed she had disclosed her abuse to someone at the age of 15 who was then killed in front of her by members of the Cult....

But Dr Fisher did not instigate even a rudimentary check to ascertain if these extraordinary claims were valid.

Dr Fisher’s statements to Will Storr about Carol are mind-boggling. She confirms that, prior to receiving psychotherapy Carol could not remember being abused. That is not surprising because Carol wasn’t abused. In an earlier interview published in The Sunday Times newspaper in 2011, Dr Fisher told journalist, Daniel Foggo, that Carol had “no knowledge” of any ritual abuse when she first saw her. “Very often” she said, “people who have had difficult experiences repress them then they suddenly begin to come back in dreams or flashbacks."

Those statements shed light on Dr Fisher’s delusional belief system. If Carol herself could not actually ‘remember’ being abused 

 then who persuaded her that she was abused? Richard was quick to pick up on this. “That showed,” he said, “that all of Carol’s

 problems began and ended with her therapy.” As we proceeded, and uncovered more and more evidence, we began to

 discover the reality behind those words.
