the devastating truth about false memory syndrome and its impact on accusers and families
by Claudette Wassil-Grimm
- 1 Want to read
False Memory Syndrome is a dangerous phenomenon that is gaining tremendous momentum in this country. Since 1992, there has been a proliferation of false accusations of sexual abuse by women who, decades after the alleged event, are coaxed by memory therapists into "recovering" memories of childhood abuse during therapy often begun for reasons of depression, post-divorce stress, or an eating disorder. Diagnosis for Disaster is a powerful look at this shocking trend.
Exposing the weaknesses in The Courage to Heal, the memory therapists' bible, Claudette Wassil-Grimm provides a handbook to counter the influence of such books and the victim mentality they encourage; she also provides a fascinating examination of satanic ritual abuse and multiple personality disorder, related therapy trends. Incisive and compelling, Diagnosis for Disaster is essential reading for anyone with an interest in understanding the pitfalls of recovered memory therapy.
