Anonymous M.D. 'Comes out of the Closet'     1/30/2007
By Sarah Rode

On a college campus, where diversity is touted as "an indispensable element of academic excellence," diversity of ideology is being squelched. Not wanting to reveal her identity for fear of endangering her job, Dr. Miriam Grossman anonymously wrote Unprotected, a book which provides an unpopular explanation to the epidemic of suicide, depression, eating disorders and sexually transmitted diseases on America's college campuses.

A psychiatrist at UCLA Student Psychological Services, Dr. Grossman says that she was "outed" on Dr. Laura Schlessinger's popular radio program. She is now speaking to organizations and on radio programs that recognize the value of her unpopular analysis of the consequences of the sexual revolution. The Family Research Council recently hosted Dr. Grossman as part of its lecture series to answer questions about her work.

Dr. Grossman speaks - as she describes it - from her experience in the "trenches of the college campus environment." Popular explanations for widespread depression and suicide among college students include parental expectations, bad national leadership, rising tuition and lack of sleep. While psychiatrists are searching for victims to diagnose, Dr. Grossman explains that the majority of her profession is overlooking the "casualties of a radical social agenda."

This "radical social agenda" that she speaks of is the combined effort to normalize harmful sexual behavior, equalize all sexual encounters (as long as latex is used), define individuals by their "sexual orientation" and assume that any desire must be fulfilled (except the desire for fatty foods and cigarettes). Health services on campuses warn students to "use protection" and even provide contraceptives free of charge. What they fail to protect against is the inevitable emotional damage, particularly to women, that results from casual sex.

Television shows like "Sex and the City" and movies such as "The Holiday" present women acting like men when it comes to sex: no emotional attachment and no expectation of commitment. Female college students begin to believe that this is the natural way women should treat relationships. Dr. Grossman explains that the biochemistry of the female body rejects this notion entirely.

Oxytocin is a chemical hormone that is released in women during sexual activity and induces bonding: "Neuroscientists have discovered that specific brain cells and chemicals are involved in attachment. … [T]he same chemical that flows through a woman's veins as she nurses her infant, promoting a powerful and selfless devotion, is found in college women 'hooking up' with men whose last intention is to bond," Dr. Grossman states in her book.

The young women that Dr. Grossman treats do not understand what causes their depression because there is no public discussion about the damage sexual promiscuity generates. It is not politically correct to acknowledge differences between men and women and how they are wired. SNAC, UCLA's Student Nutrition Action Committee, provides helpful information to students regarding how to avoid obesity, eating disorders and other health-related issues. However, there is no comparable service telling young women how to avoid the emotional devastation and depression which results from "sexual experimentation."

Dr. Janice Shaw Crouse, Senior Fellow of CWA's Beverly LaHaye Institute, states the sad truth in her article "Sex and Consequences":

The nation's 17 million college and university students are being denied truth, while their risky behavior is condoned by the prevalent social agenda on campus. Dispassionate objectivity and compassionate concern for an individual's health and well-being have been replaced by social activism.

Fortunately, Dr. Grossman is countering this agenda with "just the facts".
