About Jennifer Freyd

  • Jennifer Joy Freyd (; born October 16, 1957, in Providence, Rhode Island) is an American researcher, scholar, and psychologist.
  • Freyd is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Oregon and principal investigator of the Freyd Dynamics Lab.
  • She is also currently a visiting scholar at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University (2018–2019).Freyd became known for introducing the concept betrayal trauma and establishing the term DARVO.
  • In 1996, Freyd expanded upon literature exploring psychogenic amnesia and child sexual abuse by capturing the nuance of betrayal in a two-dimensional model of traumatic events.
  • Since betrayal trauma is defined as a violation perpetrated by someone with whom the victim is close to and reliant upon for support and survival, Freyd's model detailed the extent to which a traumatic event is defined by betrayal trauma as it occurs across dimensions of low-to-high and in its degree of social betrayal and/or the extent of terror/fear induced by the event.
