Lindsay Clancy's Audience Replaced Her As The Story

Lindsay Clancy has been turned into a symbol. For one side she's proof that mothers are dangerous and deserve the harshest punishment available. For the other she's proof that the medical system destroys women and that the real villain is the husband who moved on. Neither side is talking about a labor and delivery nurse from Duxbury who was prescribed thirteen medications by providers who allegedly never coordinated — a woman who got sick and lost everything.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, joins Tony Brueski for the final part of their three-part conversation on the psychology of the culture war surrounding the Lindsay Clancy trial. This segment turns the mirror on the audience.

Shavaun explains what happens when a real person gets replaced by an idea — when the woman in the wheelchair at the defense table stops being Lindsay and becomes everybody's argument. She covers the line where case engagement becomes something worth clinical attention. She identifies the specific mechanism driving the two-in-the-morning posters — rage that belongs elsewhere in their lives channeled into a target that feels morally justified.

She closes on two questions. Whether someone locked into a conspiracy belief can actually reverse it. And what she would say to a listener sitting across from her who is certain Patrick Clancy killed those children.

Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss what happens when the audience becomes the story.
