The number of mangled facts and distortions in this long article are far too numerous for me to address now, however here is one little example.
The article cites one study from 1987 by Herman & Schatzow of 53 women and then misstates its findings. 64% had some amnesia of abuse and 28% had severe amnesia. Further, this study is only one of 7 studies cited in 1995 in Charles Whitfield, M.D. Memory and Abuse and there have been many retrospective and collaborated studies since.
The bias of this article fits well with those of the the False Memory Syndrome Foundation and other organizations that have a major stake in denying abuse.
As a therapist who works with victims of abuse, this unscientific approach to a serious and difficult subject is harmful.
