In Memoriam: Alan W. Scheflin

It is with great sadness that I bid farewell to my dear friend, colleague, and mentor Alan Scheflin, who passed away last week at the the age of 81. Alan was a law professor emeritus at Santa Clara University. As a forensic expert, he had a master’s in psychology and counseling, and was a world authority on hypnosis. He had been president of the International Cultic Studies Association, and later on, was on the board of directors.
