Write Book Reviews to Fight False Memory Syndrome!

Even though the theories, myths, and misinformation behind the memory recovery cult have been thoroughly debunked, the books that caused the epidemic of false accusations continue to be sold and continue to mislead unwitting new readers. You can help prevent further false accusations and tragedies by writing negative online reviews of these books at Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com and warning people about these books' flaws, mistakes, and misinformation and the danger these books pose to the unwary. Conversely, you can also encourage people to read scientifically-based books that may prevent False Memory Sydrome by writing positive reviews of those books. Every review helps, and by giving each book a star rating you'll influence the average rating of all the reader reviews.

How to Write a Review

On both sites, you can post a review with your name or anonymously, and with or without your email address. (On Amazon.com, you must become a member of the site if you aren't already and log in, but you can still post anonymously, with or without an email address, thereafter.)

Before writing reviews, be sure to read the Amazon.com review guidelines and the BarnesAndNoble review guidelines. Key points to remember:

Write one review only for each book, but be sure to submit your review to both sites!
Focus on the book's content.
Don't include any URLs in your review. (It would be wonderful if we could include links to StopBadTherapy.com and similar sites, but the rules forbid URLs. If you include a URL in your review, it won't be published.)
1000 words or less on Amazon.com; 500 words or less at BarnesAndNoble.com.
Be sure to give the book the correct number of stars in your review. More stars means better, so give the books that spread False Memory Syndrome one star, and give the books that prevent False Memory Syndrome five stars each. (Giving as few stars or as many stars as possible helps to push the computed average of all reviews as far as possible.)
On Amazon.com, scroll through the other reviews for each book. For each one, click Yes or No for the "Was this review helpful to you?" question. That will cause the reviews we agree with to rise in the list, and the reviews we disagree with to fall in the list.

Books that Spread False Memory Syndrome

Here is a list of links to some of the books that have contributed to the spread of False Memory Syndrome. Where the book title is underlined, it is a link to information refuting the book's contents. Where the author's name is underlined, it is a link to information about that author on the Experts Debunked section of this site. Give each one of these books one star. Even if you don't have time to write a detailed review, just loggin in and voting for one star helps change the average rating!

If you know of another book that should be added to this list, email us the title and author.
