The Trilogy

The international online survey was divided into three parts. The
Extreme Abuse Survey for adult survivors (EAS), was conducted between
January 1 and March 30, 2007. The Professional-Extreme Abuse Survey (P-
EAS) was conducted between April 1 and June 30, 2007. This survey was
for therapists, clergy, counselors and other persons that had worked
professionally with at least one victim of extreme abuse. The Child-
Extreme Abuse Survey (C-EAS) was conducted between July 8 and October
8, 2007. This survey was for caregivers of child survivors of extreme
abuse and mind control.[1]

Methodology

The main objective of the surveys was gather preliminary data on the
nature and extent of extreme abuse. The researchers decided that the
most practical way to generate a large number of responses was to
announce and conduct an online survey. Survey questions were
pretested, and all survey items were confirmed to have face validity.
The target population of the study was defined as all survivors of
extreme abuse[2].

Attacks

On January 2, 2007, the server that had the survey faced an intense
amount of port scans at low and high ports and attempts to access non-
existing server pages. These were carried out on a large scale. This
used an enormous amount of bandwidth. The attacks diminished and after
three weeks almost ended. In early March 2007, there was an attack to
hack into the server, but this failed. Several attempts were also made
to obtain the private data of some technicians and surveyors. The EAS
survey however was successfully completed on March 31, 2007.[2]

Results

Fourteen hundred and seventy-one participants from more than thirty
countries answered at least one question of the EAS. The survey was
given in both German and English. Sixty-four percent of 985
participants reported memories of incest and 48% of 977 participants
reported memories of extreme abuse before they sought therapy. Sixty-
nine percent of 257 respondents that reported secret mind control
experiments on them when they were children also reported that they
were abused in a cult.[2]

Of 1007 participants in the EAS, 65% stated that they had been
diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder. Higher percentages were
found in the C-EAS and the P-EAS. High percentages of physical abuse,
sexual abuse from multiple perpetrators and child pornography were
found in all three surveys. In the C-EAS, medical evidence consistent
with extreme abuse was found in 53% of 80 respondents, psychological
symptoms consistent with extreme abuse were found in 91% of the 88
respondents and the symptoms abated when the child was able to tell
about the abuse in 78 respondents[1].
