Dr. Deborah L Holden, PhD

My interactions with Deborah have been only online, but the behaviors I've seen should alarm anyone considering seeing her in a professional capacity. We had been participating in a couple online discussion forums when she developed a bizarre hostile obsession with me. She started attacking me on a regular basis with no provocation, often so rancorously that moderators had to remove her comments. Blocking her did no good, because she continued her attacks even when I was unable to respond. At one point, she even posted cruel remarks about people on the spectrum, knowing that applied to me. But the most egregious of all was her invention of an utterly vile lie, which she began to repeat online. She claimed that I had threatened to spank her in a private message, though I had done no such thing and she was unable to produce any evidence. I can only conclude that she was projecting some sick fantasy. That's not the only lie she's told, but it's by far the worst. She is clearly not well.
