It was during
this period (1978) that the calamity of the Jonestown Massacre
became world news.
Jim Jones, the guru, considered the world
was coming to an end. He then instructed his thousand or
so devotees to commit suicide - to drink cyanide and lemonade.
As a result of this, some eight hundred or so men women
and children perished.
Paul was commissioned by the U.S. Government
to organise a team and initiate a programme which would
be instrumental in assisting the survivors of the Jonestown
saga to integrate back into society.
This he accomplished and as a consequence
he became fascinated with all the aspects of the Jim Jones’s
psychological “subliminal brainwashing” techniques. Paul
later decided to adopt these skills, modify them, and use
them to “empower” an individual rather than “enslave “them.
By using these principles he later became
accepted as one of the leading “deprogrammers" (exit
councillors) in the United States.
Soon after he became the primary founder
of the "Stress-Management and Phobia" clinics in Hawaii,
then Nevada, the UK, and later in Ireland.
In the 1980's Paul returned to Ireland
and opened his "Stress Management and Phobia Clinic" in
Dublin. Many patients are referred to the clinics by the
medicinal profession. Others are by recommendation of satisfied
clients. |
