Subject: Re: Keep me up-to-dateDear Dr. W. Earle
Our experiment is now successful completed. I send you the full report as attachment.
As promised, my report contains an all-embracing description of our project. Unlike my report to Mr. Freudenstein I send you also complete data protocol of our observations of H.A.’s online activities. As I wrote you at the beginning of our experiment, H.A. was afflicted with Dissociative identity disorder (ICD-10: F44.8).
I am proud to inform you that your theories are proven now. For years I was passionate reader of your articles for “Alternative Psychiatry Studies Bulletin” and your monograph “The Power of Unconscious Involvement” belongs to my most readable books.
I haven’t reported to Mr. Freudenstein about a fact that the online anonym contacts weren’t really accidental. Actually I acted on your advice and provoked an intense involvation of some members of two ARG forums: Unfiction and Patmo. The constitution of a so-called “Alternate Reality Game” allows a total involvation in a project, even if the participators don’t know the backgrounds and take the project for a game. The nescience of the communicator parts – the forum members on the one hand and the split personalities on the other hand – permits us to build a perfect model of communicative co-existance, a “therapeutical network” (as you defined it in your works).
In our case the ARG players healed our reagent – even without knowing it.
Unfortunately, at the end of our experiment the reagent escaped, even if we succeed his mental recovery. I have all the reasons to fear to be fired by Mr. Freudenstein (you know his capricious nature). So I’m sorry to sound like an applicant, but if your Center for Alternative Psychiatric Studies offers some vacant posts, I would very appreciate. Concerning my situation I can say I am very flexible. So if it would be possible, I could immediately leave Germany and move to Washington to help you in your researches. I can also report you many interesting details about the research activity of Dr. Freudenstein, since I was all these years his personal assistant.
Thank you in advance,
Yours faithfully,
PD V. Versic
