Stephanie Dallam R.N., M.S.N. (picture) is a child-protection zealot who attempts to foist herself off as a clinical author on child trauma. The end result of most of her writings can be said to represent a shade of pseudoscience falling somewhere in between that of David Finkelhor and the Right-Wing, homophobic, pedophile-obsessed, extremist revisionist of Alfred Kinsey, Judith Reisman.

Dallam, who is allied to the pseudomedical victimologist/trauma pathologist Leadership Council is also said to have worked as "family nurse, practitioner [and] in pediatric intensive care for ten years at the University of Missouri Hospital and Clinics [and as a] nursing instructor at the University of Missouri—Columbia. She has written numerous articles on issues related to the welfare of children".[1]

Rind "Debunking"

She is probably best known as the author of a 2002 paper that attempted to frame the work of Rind et al (also see Research) as advocacy propaganda. What - apart from the numerous misrepresentations - is most surprising about this paper, is that the author felt that she could base a large portion of her critique around what appeared to be a guilt-by-association argument, and then accuse the other of abusing protocols of science for the purpose of non-existent advocacy.
