Bethany Storro, the Portland woman who claimed that an unknown black woman threw acid in her face, yesterday admitted she’d made up the story.What she can’t explain is why she – an attractive woman with a new job – would cause herself horrific pain by searing her face, irreparably, with a substance as caustic as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.
There could be several answers, says Dr. Samuelle Klein-Von Reiche, a psychologist in private practice in Manhattan.
“One theory is that it could be for the same reasons that some people cut themselves – to take charge of negative emotions, to feeling something more than numbness, to grant release from psychic pain,” says Klein-Von Reiche.
