Dr. Pickens' initial determination is that Ruth had been in a state of massive repression, maybe the most intense case of repression he'd ever seen.
voice-verified
Here's an excerpt from Dr. Pickens' early report only a few days into his work with Ruth.
voice-verified
Mrs. Finley has utilized repression in a massive way ever since childhood to effectively bury unacceptable feelings and wishes.
voice-verified
She was able to maintain the repression until stressed by her husband's illness about four and a half years ago.
voice-verified
The night when Ed was in the hospital recovering from a heart attack scare and Ruth was home alone,
voice-verified
Whatever it was that Ruth had been subconsciously repressing manifested itself into the poet and called her up on the phone.
voice-verified
But Dr. Pickens didn't know what she was repressing, and neither did Ruth.
voice-verified
He knew they needed to do more digging to find that out, but the clock was still ticking on his diagnosis.
voice-verified
He had to determine how much control Ruth had over the poet.
voice-verified
Through their sessions, he becomes convinced.
voice-verified
Ruth not only couldn't remember, but she was not even aware of her actions as the poet.
voice-verified
So with this information, he's able to come up with a diagnosis to submit to the court.
voice-verified
He determines that Ruth has a dissociative disorder.
voice-verified
The poet wasn't a separate identity from Ruth, what we used to call a split personality, but she was able to dissociate so deeply that she had stabbed herself.
voice-verified
Dr. Pickens tells the court, he doesn't believe Ruth consciously knew about the poet's actions.
voice-verified
So now it was up to the district attorney to decide if he was going to criminally charge her.
voice-verified
District Attorney Clark Owens holds a press conference covered by Cake TV to deliver his decision.
voice-verified
Ruth was not going to be criminally charged.
voice-verified
She was free.
voice-verified
This must have been a huge relief for Ed and Ruth.
