"Will 'false memory' suits
inhibit therapists
from accepting difficult cases?"

"The whole point of therapy is
to be able
to look at things differently,
to dare
to feel the real pain, and
to pursue true insight,
understanding and reconciliation."

"Psychiatry
like other branches of American medicine,
is constantly changing,
with new and improved treatments
providing more benefits
to more people than ever before.

Treatment
for sexual abuse -
by spouses,
parents,
or on the job -
is an area of
major improvement in psychotherapy."

"Therapy that addresses memories
that have been
minimized or repressed
is an important constructive part
of treatment
for sexual abuse."

"The whole world may be watching,
including a handful
of patients and lawyers willing
to file lawsuits
claiming that 'false memories'
have been planted
by overzealous therapists."

"No one wants
irresponsible and poorly trained
therapists recklessly
hypnotizing patients and
acting out personal agendas."

"Perhaps we need a
new consent form
to be signed by people entering therapy.

'I understand that psychotherapy is,
by its very nature,
very unpredictable.

I acknowledge that in working
to understand the
causes of my suffering,
I might uncover
painful and confusing material.

I take personal responsibility
for dealing
with this.

I recognize
that I can stop at any time."
