	Margaret Singer: Crazy Therapies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Singer discussed her new book, a delightful account of the new therapies in psychology that are, excuse the pun, crazy.
		Singer recounted a therapist who had convinced a client she had been an Indian Chief in a previous life, suffered many injustices, and that these injustices were the cause of her current problems.
		Singer reminded the audience that there are two ways to evaluate therapy: outcomes, which are always influenced by placebo effects, and empirical research, guided by theory.

	ELFIS FORUM - Mind Kontrol Corner - Margaret Singer, Expert on Brainwashing, Cults dies at 82 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Margaret Thaler Singer, one of the world's leading experts on cults and brainwashing who served as an expert witness in numerous high-profile court cases, including testifying for the defense in the 1976 bank robbery trial of kidnapped newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst, has died.
		Singer, a clinical psychologist and former professor of psychology at UC Berkeley who also was known for her work on schizophrenia, died of pneumonia Sunday in a Berkeley hospital after a long illness.
		Singer was known for being unfailingly polite and plain-spoken, and with her gray-streaked brown hair, oversized glasses and penchant for wearing old-fashioned lacy dresses, brooches and sensible shoes, she projected a grandmotherly image.

	Margaret Singer
		Margaret Singer's career as an expert witness in defense of the mind-control theory was quite successful until the theory had been debunked.
		Singer developed her theory of "mind control" years before she published "Cults in Our Midst." That book was written for the general public, not as a scholarly treatise.
		Singer was not permitted to present her "mind control" theory as an explanation for why Steven Fishman committed mail fraud.

	Dr. Margaret Singer: An Evalutation of Her Work (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Singer never made any real attempt to account for the resisters' response in terms of their religious affiliation, church practices, ethical commitment, personal philosophy, patriotism, loyalty to their particular unit, and such like factors that do not easily lend themselves to quantification.
		Such commitment apparently is explicable only in terms of artful manipulation by mind-benders whose activities justify the use of coercion for the purpose of restoring the believer to his or her original state of responsibility.
		According to her evidence, former cultists are widely marked by thier-habit of staring, by increased weight, pallor, poor dental hygiene, stringy, oily hair, and general physical deterioration.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Obituaries \| Margaret Singer
		Among her peers, Singer was best known for her work on schizophrenia and the characteristic disordered speech patterns of sufferers, for which she was twice nominated for a Nobel prize.
		Although the judge complimented Singer on her work, he decided not to let the jury hear her evidence, and ruled in favour of the prosecution argument that the Singer study was so new and original that it was not acceptable as recognised expert testimony.
		Singer's opinions were also sought about the People's Temple mass suicides in Guyana in 1978, the enforced conversion of young people to the Moon church in California in the 1980s, and the Branch Davidian and Heaven's Gate cult deaths in the 1990s.

		I have only spoken to Margaret Singer a couple times, she told me a great story about about being deposed by Moxon and Ingram using the 'suitable guise' of one of Gerry Armstrong's cases.
		Moxon started the deposition, Margaret Singer had turned her cushy swivel chair around and had been gazing out the glass walls of the conference room at the lovely view from the upper story window of the high rise office building that the big shot law firm was in, that the scientologists had hired.

		Margaret also creates her own interpretations of the Celtic music of her Scottish heritage, melding Celtic and Medieval together to forge a beautiful new musical blend.
		Known primarily as a vocalist, Margaret is also one of the new generation of harp players dedicated to recreating the ancient sounds of Celtic and Medieval harp music.
		Classically trained on flute and recorder as well, Margaret adds the haunting voices of these instruments to the evocative music of her harp and song, creating a richly textured tapestry of sound that melds ancient and modern, recapturing the feel of earlier times while resonating to the contemporary ear.

	Psych Sleuth - Margaret Singer
		Morris, the assistant D.A., first enlisted Singer's prowess in the early 1990s when he was going after William von Weiland, a 48-year-old sweet talker who dragged a 93-year-old San Francisco woman to a cheap wedding chapel in Tahoe so he could bilk her of millions of dollars.
		Ask Singer why she keeps fighting at an age when most folks would be fishing or snoozing in front of "Oprah" (which she likes, almost as much as she adores scanning TV news), and it's one of the only times she stumbles on her words.
		Singer wrote the Gazette column in the 1970s, when her son Sam was an editor there.

		Margaret will be sorely missed by all of us at The Scientific Review of Mental Health Practice, but her remarkable intellectual influence will live on.

	Margaret Singer, Mother of Anti-Cult Brainwashing Theory, Dies in Berkeley
		Margaret Singer, 82, died on November 23, 2003 after a long illness at Alta Bates Medical Center in Berkeley, California.
		Singer's decline started with the rejection of a report of a commission she had chaired by the American Psychological Association in 1987, and with the ruling in the Fishman case in 1990 excluding her testimony on brainwashing as not part of mainline science.
		Still lionized by the anti-cult movement and by some media, she was increasingly criticized even by "moderate" anti-cultists, and appeared increasingly irrelevant to the "new" cult wars of the late 1990s.

	PSYCH SLEUTH / Margaret Singer has made history delving into the psychology of brainwashing
		Singer scientifically proved she had been brainwashed in an elaborate scheme by Weiland, his live-in boyfriend and their accountant, Morris says.
		And so, having moved to the Berkeley area to take an adjunct professor job in the late 1950s when her husband signed onto the UC faculty there, Singer was uniquely primed for the craziness that became the cult scene of the 1960s and '70s.
		He was sucked into a battle Singer got into with sociologists of religion in the mid-1980s, when they called brainwashing study a flawed discipline, and he says the quibble is basically over the definition of what constitutes mind control.
