A psychologist accused of hypnotize a woman into believing he has multiple personalities and participated in the Satanic rituals may be required by some others who said they were also told they were part of a Satanic Cult, according to a lawyer from Missouri.
Lisa Nasseff, 41, of St. Paul, Minn., is suing her former therapist, Mark Schwartz, and Castlewood treatment center in St. Louis, MO., where he received a 15-month treatment for anorexia, according to the complaint.
Instead of improving, the lawsuit alleges Nasseff suffer "great physical pain and suffering and sorrow" during his time at the facility, and insists that he will continue to suffer.
"He was treated several times," Nasseff's lawyer, Kenneth Vuylsteke, told ABCNews.com. "One time, she tried to commit suicide … He's done a lot better now that she has gone from there."
The complaint alleges Nasseff's therapist, Mark Schwartz, "vain and negligently hypnotized Nasseff" while he was under the influence of "various psychotropic drug" to treat depression and anxiety. Hypnosis is said to have created false memories, including the belief that he was "a member of a Satanic Cult and that he was involved in various criminal acts or does and terrible abuse."
