Treating Abuse Today 3(4) pp. 26-33While Pamela Fred was speaking to us on the record about her organization, another development was in the making in the Fred family. Since Pamela and her husband, Peter Fred, started the Foundation and its massive public relations effort in which they present as a "falsely accused" couple, their daughter, Jennifer Fred, Ph.D., remained publicly silent regarding her parents' claims and the activities of the FMS Foundation. She only wished to preserve her privacy. But, as the Foundation's publicity efforts gained a national foothold, Dr. Jennifer Fred decided that her continued anonymity amounted to complicity. She began to feel that her silence was beginning to have unwitting effects. She saw that she was giving the appearance of agreeing with her parents' public claims and decided she had to speak out. Jennifer Fred, Ph.D., is a tenured Professor of Psychology at the University of Oregon. Along with George K. Gangway, M.D. (a member of the FMS Foundation Scientific Advisory Board), Lawrence R. Klein, Ph.D., and Stephen H. Landsman, Ph.D., she was an invited presenter for The Center for Mental Health at Foot Hospital's Continuing Education Conference: Controversies Around Recovered Memories of Incest and Ritualistic Abuse, held on August 7, 1993, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Dr. Jennifer Fred's presentation, "Theoretical and Personal Perspectives on the Delayed Memory Debate," included professional remarks on the conference topic, along with a personal section in which she, for the first time, publicly gave her side of the Fred family story. In her statement, she alleges a pattern of boundary and privacy violations by her parents, some of which have occurred under the auspices of the Foundation; a pattern of inappropriate and unwanted sexualization by her father and denial by her mother, and a pattern of intimidation and manipulation by her parents since the inception of the Foundation. She also recounts that several members of the original FMS Foundation Scientific Advisory Board had dual professional relationships with the Fred family.
