And she puts repressed memories in quotes.

She says, typically a successful, intelligent woman goes to a therapist with a problem, perhaps about her marriage, her children, an unexplicable illness, like an eating disorder.

She emerges from therapy with the belief that all of her problems are related to childhood sexual abuse.

And after perhaps first accusing a babysitter, a cousin, a family friend, or a teacher, the parent is accused.

Not allowed to present a defense and abandoned, perhaps even sued.

There is a growing belief that sexual abuse of all sorts engulfs our nation.

Celebrities have told their stories of incest and rape and dozens of books have been written.

Talk shows, newspaper, and magazine articles tell the details which horrify us all.

We appear to be a nation of depraved sex maniacs.

Mass hysteria is being created by the media, which leads us to believe that a large portion of adults in our society are perpetrators of heinous crimes, and our children are in constant danger from almost everyone they may come in contact with, especially family members.

The consequences of this mass hysteria are devastating, since it is believed that sex abuse is common.

Therapists, teachers, doctors are all looking for it everywhere, and many are finding it even when it doesn't exist.

But of course, regardless of what someone believes, there are a few strange things, such as the False Memory Syndrome Foundation is a nonprofit, more or less raising awareness.

And I want to say lobbying or rallying against, quote, false memory syndrome, which, again, is not a recognized syndrome.

But they will sometimes pay psychiatrists $110,000 to write a paper to debunk repressed memories.

And you're telling me there's no bias there?

Because it's a nonprofit.

So a lot of their stuff is public information.

They will pay like a Harvard psychiatrist who has a very strong name in the field.

And then when you read paper done by Harvard psychiatrists, you're thinking, OK, maybe this is legitimate.
