Actually, David does a pretty good job of giving
the Experiencers the space for their stories without
conflating or reducing Hag Attacks with or to any
sort of physiological or pathological etiology.
He doesn't "blame the victim" by plunking for
self-infliction of claw marks, for instance, and he
has always been a very compassionate and respectful
participant on the ASP List.
