The False Memory Panic…

With three experts on the false memory of sexual abuse

…that swept the country for 10 or so years was at its height when we did this program. Thousands of female “patients” were persuaded by stupid or incompetent “psychologists” that they had been sexually abused by their fathers or by others when in fact nothing of the sort had happened. The psychological injuries to those who had these false memories implanted and to those they accused still persist though the social panic has by now died out. In the middle of that period of panic we did a close analysis of what was happening. Our guests were three valuable debunkers, one a psychiatrist, another a psychologist and one a lawyer who helped the nation to put this harmful myth aside.
