Incest and physical, sexual, and emotional abuse of children and adults are real problems. So are false accusations due to so-called "repressed memories" which are supposedly "recovered" during "therapy." Tens of thousands of innocent, loving families have been shattered by false accusations due to false memories that were created by misinformed therapists. Are you or a friend or loved one in therapy? DON'T BE THE NEXT VICTIM! DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY! Go to http://www.StopBadTherapy.com/ and learn how to protect your family from "therapies" based on dangerous, discredited, junk science beliefs like "repressed memories," "memory recovery," and the use of hypnosis to "recover repressed memories" of past lives, alien abduction, satanic ritual abuse, and incest. Thousands of women who sought treatment for depression, anxiety, or other common problems have been led through suggestive reading, leading questions, "relaxation" and "guided imagery" techniques, and hypnosis to believe that they were the victims of daily, violent, ritual and sexual abuse by parents and siblings throughout their childhoods, and that they "repressed" the memory of every event until decades later in therapy.

Read these excerpts from an April press release by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, announcing the results of a comprehensive review of the literature on recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse which was published in the April 1998 issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry:

• "There is no evidence that memories can be 'blocked out' by the mind, either by repression or by dissociation. Given the prevalence of childhood sexual abuse, even if only a small proportion of memories are repressed and only some of them subsequently recovered, there should be a significant number of corroborated cases recovered through psychotherapy in the literature. In fact, there is none."
• "there is no evidence that any check lists, syndromes, symptoms or signs indicate with any degree of reliability that an individual has been sexually abused in the remote past."
• Hypnosis "has been shown to be unreliable as a means of eliciting memories of past events, and such 'memories' are no longer admitted as legal testimony."
• "Age regression: there is no evidence for the efficacy of this technique, nor can it be shown that the subject's 'memories' actually do regress to the target age."
• Dream interpretations "usually reflect the training and personal convictions of the therapist."
• "The authors conclude that memory enhancement techniques do not actually enhance memory, and that there is evidence that they can be powerful and dangerous methods of persuasion. Many of the memories 'recovered' by these measures refer to events in the early months and years of life, which fall within the period of infantile amnesia, and must be regarded as implausible for that reason. The evidence suggests that all the techniques outlined above can create entirely new and false memories, not only experimentally but also in clinical practice."
