The Extreme Abuse Surveys (EAS) were created to develop a qualitative and
quantitative base of data regarding the accounts of survivors of extreme abuse
[1]. Four researchers from Germany and the United States, Carol Rutz, Thorsten
Becker, Bettina Overcamp and Wanda Karriker worked together to develop three
different surveys to develop this base of data[1].

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].
