Description
Summary:"Mark Pendergrast sounds a clarion call to stop the on-going pseudoscience of "repressed memory therapy," which has destroyed millions of families and continues to do so. In the 1990s, Pendergrast's book Victims of Memory helped to debunk the repressed memory craze. Now, two decades later, he revisits the subject and proves that this form of "therapy" is still widespread, still destroying family relationships and causing false allegations of terrible crimes against innocent parents and caregivers. With meticulous research and captivating writing, Pendergrast brings coverage of this issue up to date as of late 2017."--From publisher's website.
