  Dr. Allan Young, an anthropologist at McGill University in Montreal who wrote "The Harmony of Illusions: Inventing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder" (Princeton University Press, 1996) said he was "very, very dubious" about the claims on the CNN program.Young spent two years at a VA hospital in the United States studying Vietnam veterans claiming emotional disabilities.
  
  He has been fascinated by new narratives emerging as Vietnam fades in memory, he said.While many patients obviously had arduous combat experiences, a growing number of cases "involve a veteran who was not in Vietnam -- or if he was in Vietnam, he was not in combat," he said.In group therapy sessions, these patients assemble shards of others' claims and even snippets of movies into fantasies of personal combat experiences, usually of heroic actions or harrowing peril.
  
  But more intriguing, he said, is a small subdivision of that group -- men who falsely implicate themselves in atrocities."They make up war crimes for themselves," Young said.
  
  Why would anybody do that?
  
  Young said that a motive could involve a quest for sympathy, for bigger disability payments or something far simpler.
  
  "Guaranteed attention," he said.

  Psychiatrist Alan Young, associate director at the Institute of Mental Health at the University of British Columbia, asked the Dalai Lama for his thoughts on the parallels between compassion and mental ill health. He wanted to know why it seems people have less compassion for people with mental disorders than for those with physical ones. "It would be a scandal if someone had to sleep in the street with cancer but why is it not for someone who has schizophrenia?'' said Young.
