    This is one of the biggest scandals in modern Sweden. They wanted a Swedish serial killer so they came up with one, not only destroying Thomas’ life but also helping the real killers get away. Thank you for this video! 🇸🇪

    - it is a fascinating story, not because of Quick - because he was an asshole, but because of all the authorities (Remember we are talking about a lot of people with authority, perhaps hundreds.) - from judges, lawyers, police investigators , psychiatry, witness experts to journalists and the Public Opinion who were convinced he was a genuine serial killer. We are talking about a mass groupe thinking (remember almost the entire population of Sweden 10 million, not to mention the neighboring countries) and the clearest example of how confirmation bias works. All of the authorities - wanted - him to be a serial killer, when anyone disagreed they were labeled stupid, ill informed or they just haven't read (the confirmation bias) the things the authorities had read. The biggest crook is obviously psychiatry with all its woo woo, also supported by police investigators, "witness experts" and eventually by Judges. A few brave souls like Hannes Råstam and Leif GW Persson said all along this is a case of a mythoman, a Pathological liar. Now what is really needed is for someone to put subtitles on Hannes Råstam`s documentary "Thomas Quick". The biggest problem however is that no one with authority - as far as i know - has ever been held accountable. One of them are still teaching his students Quick is a serial killer and everyone else is wrong. As your neighbor to the west, we have also had several cases of wrongful convictions, nothing as big as Quick - yet - but we are still waiting for the outcome of a terrible case of child rape and killings (Baneheia drapene) - two small girls where raped and killed - where one accused person may have spend 21 years in prison for something he did not do. The mechanisms seems chillingly similar to that of the Quick case.

    Thomas probably never killed anyone, but he still molested a bunch of little boys, so he should still be locked up, in my opinion, as he ruined the life of the boys. Still agree with you on that it was awfull that the real killers got away though.

    @@caninecurry5823 He died many years ago. The murders he confessed to were cold cases, so the killers had basically gotten away with it already. He's the Scandinavian version of Ottis Tool and Henry Lee Lucas in the US: Having a ball and getting attention while they "confessed" to just about every unsolved murder of women in the country. The police ate it all up, even confessions to murders that they knew that the two could not possibly have committed. Lots of investigations of murder cases were halted because of people like Quick, Tool and Lucas and many others then, and police forces desperate to get closure on their cold cases - all over the world. All these cold cases have been reopened, and most of them are just as cold as they were before these confessions. It has happened since then too, albeit to a lesser extent, and it will happen again in the future. Repressed memory was a psychologist fad all over the world back then. I actually think it started in the US. Or at least it was enormously popular there. It's easy to pass judgment after the fact, because as we know: Hindsight is always 20/20.

There's another somewhat similar case in Sweden where two boys were coached to "remember" killing a 4-year-old in their neighbourhood. They never really remembered but had to accept that they had suppressed it. They were completely innocent.

    "The police consider confessions the best evidence" Yes, but not for finding the guilty. It's the best "evidence" to convince a jury to convict. That's part of the problem. Like Dr. Grande points out, multiple sources of evidence should be correlated to find the truth if one is seeking truth rather than just a conviction of a particular individual.

Two brothers who were 5 and 7 at the time got accused of the murder from the police. But in later years video has shown how badly the investigation was in this case. It would be interesting to see your analysis of the investigation and how it can effect a person mentaly, when society thinks they have committed a murder.

    Or the case of Christine Schürrer, the crazy German woman who out of jealousy bludgeoned two innocent toddlers to death with a hammer and nearly killed the mother (who would survive and would later be able to point her out as the murder). This heinous act, that was committed in Sweden, was perpertuated solely out of spite as Schürrer had previously been involved with the mother's boyfriend, who had later rejected her. Schürrer laughed during the police interrogations and made jokes completely inappropriate considering the gravity of the matter. (She was convicted despite the lack of physical evidence connecting her to the scene, thanks to an abundance of circumstantial evidence.) If you could provide an analysis of this case, of this chilling female psychopath and childkiller, Dr Grande, I would be forever grateful.

    just rewatching videos from my favorite KZread creator. THANK YOU for discussing repressed memories and how they are not reliable or even real. I did a paper on the topic of repressed memories in a psych class in my junior year in college and since then, I have had many debates with people who think that they have uncovered repressed memories. I also have far too many debates with people I meet who believe "lie detector tests" exist.

    EDIT: I’m editing this because I want to clarify what I wrote. I believe people can have repressed memories. What I know now is nonsense is Recovered Memory Therapy. Many people were essentially “forced” to remember things that never happened. Remember the satanic panic of the 80s? I’m glad that the whole repressed memory nonsense was debunked and put to rest. So many lives were harmed by it. Years ago, I was working with a psychologist who had jumped on the repressed memory train. I felt like he really wanted me to “remember” being sexually abused at preschool age. In thinking about it between appointments, I got to thinking about the stories my parents told of me having to get my stomach pumped a few times because I got into stuff that was harmful. While I don’t have any memory of it, I would imagine, as a 2-3 year old, it would have been very traumatic to have my stomach pumped and could explain a choking sensation I would feel during my sessions with the Psychologist. So, I asked him if getting my stomach pumped would cause that feeling. All he said was “It could” then went back to trying to get me to remember being sexually abused. I was sexually abused when I was 10 and I definitely never forgot anything about what happened so if I had been abused at a younger age, I would probably have some memory of it. I have an excellent memory with I several memories from when I was 3 years old and even I’ve ir two from when I was 2.

    This is a really interesting topic I started looking into a few years ago. Christine Blasey Ford was apparently involved in hypno therapy involving repressed memories (I'm politically independent for the record - not trying to make a statement. It's one possible explanation for those events). Also the Netflix show 'the keepers' about the murdered nun had repressed memories at the center of the series where an abused girl started remembering past situations - some of which were fairly stunning and difficult to comprehend as actual events. I know there was a well known case about a father who was (apparently falsely) accused by his daughter. There are people who go through hypnotherapy and 'remember' events that they couldn't possibly have known about first hand. It's definitely a controversial topic.

    As a Swede I'm impressed by your knowledge in this case, but at the same time you fail to see some main points. 1. There was a crew of people around him - police, judges, lawyers, journalists - who made their careers on this case, and encouraged him to confess more and more murders! They didn't care that it was all a lie 2. Thomas Quick was a drug addict, and by confessing to new murders, he was regulary "rewarded" more drugs by the medicial staff that took care of him. So he keeped confessing to get his drugs.

I was a bit confused if you were referring to this case specifically, or if you had a broader sentiment regarding repressed memories and their validity in general? I appreciate your viewpoint on these issues and wanted to ask, in a larger sense, how much weight you put on these memories when they come up? Of course, I’m not assuming you are diagnosing any particular person and was only hoping to generate an interesting discussion here in the comment section! 😉 Edit: Oh boy, I just read some comments, and I totally understand if you don’t want to get involved in this quagmire!

  • @erikparent8176
    @erikparent81762 жыл бұрын

    I agree with Dr. Grande that repressed memories are not an issue. As a long time meditator I have trained my mind not to think of the past or create mental scenes about an imagined future. It is extremely benefical to leave past memories unveiwed. There is no need to go to a therapist and rehash all that crapola. Everyone needs to practice inner body awareness to heal old emotion as it comes to the surface and learn calming technics so that highly charged emotion is not created, in ones present life situation. The key to feelings of peace and happyness is to heal repressed emotion, which allows an internal natural joy to arise from within. The issue is not memories but repression of the emotions associated with past life scenes. We all have alot of repressed emotions because when they were generated, we buried them. This is why it's best to feel your inner body so emotion can't be hidden within. Putting attention on your inner emotional body so one is always concious of any emotions being generated, or arising from already stored emotion. All emotions are actually subtle electromagnetic wavelengths that when observed by an inner feeling, are transmuted into feelings of joy. Transmutation is a tuning of unpleasent reactive emotion into feelings of joy and peace. When we place concious feeling in our bodies we align with the awareness field which is non-physical and in turn change the frequency of any emotion, that happens to arise from our shadow tanks or new emotion that is being created. 🙏🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️🌌🌠♾
