"Madeline"

Alfonso Martinez-Taboas reported on two corroborated cases of repressed and recovered memories that he observed in patients with Dissociative Identity Disorder during his clinical practice in Puerto Rico. The first is the case of "Madeline", whose memories of abuse by a cousin were corroborated by confession after she confronted him. After extended family questioning, Madeline and her mother were told confidentially by another cousin that she had also been molested by the same man as a child, corroborating Madeline's report further (Martinez-Taboas 1996).
