 A review of these claims by sociologist Mary de Young in a 1994 "Behavioral Sciences and the Law" article noted that the historical basis for these claims, and in particular their continuity of cults, ceremonies and rituals was questionable.However at a conference in November 1990, psychiatrist and researcher Frank Putnam, then chief of the Dissociative Disorders Unit of the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland, led a plenary session panel that proved to be the first public presentation of psychiatric, historical and law enforcement skepticism concerning SRA claims.Other members of the panel included psychiatrist George Ganaway, anthropologist Sherrill Mulhern, and psychologist Richard Noll.
