    Again, I understand that these are your <opinions>, however your rhetorical style of repeatedly attempting to attack the source instead of sticking to issues is most distressing and I can only assume is due to a lack of substance on your part.

    btw, changing an arbitrary name from "repressed" to "dissociated" to shift discussion away from the issue should not be considered a rational defense to a criticized position.

    This is not the "repressed memory forum" and so I will not get into debating all the issues that you brought up. Nevertheless, it is important for prospective clients to become informed on this issue as well and the link I provided provides ample and qualifed information on the topic. Dr. Loftus is perhaps one of the foremost experts on memory as a cognitive psychologist and has conducted numerous empirical investigations of the claims. To attempt to out-of-hand discredit her is suspect and provides some evidence that your lipservice to skepticism is not followed by your actions. However, readers can make up their own minds.

    The link again is:
