Daniel Gardner's book "Science of Fear" deliniates many recent studies that pertain to this matter.haykindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390376509834647445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142327341608998711.post-42190529583653481652009-08-12T19:52:05.766-07:002009-08-12T19:52:05.766-07:00Sexual abuse of children is horrid and I apprecia...Sexual abuse of children is horrid and I appreciate your concern. What concerns me also though are the falsely accused. I am for justice and order but I am horrified as I see more cases of psychopaths and sociopaths who have lied in courts, know of counsellors motivated by profit and having horrid conflicts of interest. The truth is no longer what it used to be especially since the 'swearing on the Bible' and 'your truth' and 'my truth' became de rigour. I see cases of children now whose lives were devastated by these divorce wars. I see the recovered alcoholics and addicts who tell me the stories of their confabulations. I see those who want pay for testifying in these court cases as 'witnesses' believing 'solidarity'. I worked in a place treating the victims of pedophilia where the courthouse had been paid for by a famous pedophile. What concerns me are the 'falsely accused'. From the dozens of cases I've seen where the allegations have been 'proven' false in no way negating the dozens of other cases proven true I would extrapolate that if I've seen it then there are that many other clinicians who've seen it as well. What concerns me further is that the media doesn't report the number of false accusations/to proven true cases of this in the courts resulting in the many more serious 'false impressions'.haykindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390376509834647445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142327341608998711.post-13457926539719670952009-08-12T19:22:41.084-07:002009-08-12T19:22:41.084-07:00http://scienceblogs.com/neurophilosophy/2009/05/co...http://scienceblogs.com/neurophilosophy/2009/05/confabulatory_hypermnesia_or_severe_false_memory_syndrome.php<br /><br />This 2009 study is just one of many "update"s. <br />I appreciate your comments. And yes you're probably right about the limits of the term "False Memory Syndrome". Just as "multipersonality disorder' is now called "dissociative disorder' there is a need for an update term for what is the central concern. Confabulatory Disorder would probably be more appropriate and would include those cases which concern me. I certainly don't in anyway support pedophilia and don't believe it's God's will. The repression of memory is as well documented as is the innacuracy of memory itself.haykindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390376509834647445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142327341608998711.post-12280327164449950022009-08-12T13:23:47.150-07:002009-08-12T13:23:47.150-07:00It is important to update yourself on your informa...It is important to update yourself on your information. There are scores of studies which prove the existence of the repression of trauma. There has never been a proven case of the so-called "False Memory Syndrome" nor is there any scientific research to back it up. The FMSF was founded by people accused of sexual abuse and a man who thinks that pedophilia is a normal part of God's will. The repression of memory is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. FMS is not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
