Description

Thousands of families are victims of therapy based on retrieving childhood memories based on pseudoscientific techniques which induce false memories. Using hypnosis, guided imagery, body massage, dream interpretation & other questionable techniques, thousands of overzealous therapists search for long-repressed "memories" of childhood incest. Patients embrace the distorted theories of their psychotherapists & become convinced the long-forgotten sexual assault is the reason for all their present problems. The victims of this destructive therapy are persuaded to cut off contact with all family members who question the new memories, even though no evidence of the abuse is ever established. Recovered memory therapy is widely practiced by licensed psychiatrists, psychologists & clinical social workers. In this book, siblings describe the devastating effects of their sisters' accusations of sexual & satanic ritual abuse against their parents, based on memories recalled in therapy. Women who have experienced this type of therapy describe how they were led to believe they were sexually abused but now they realize the incest never occurred. They tell how they WERE abused--by the very people they went to for help. Distributed by Baker & Taylor, Ingram, Brodart & The Distributors. Or order direct from SIRS Books, P.O.
