Tragically, real abuse does occur, but each year hundreds of thousands of innocent people are ensnared in a system that ruins their lives and destroys their families.Topics include: police investigations; the role of therapists, doctors, and child protection agencies; the use of expert witnesses; and legal defenses., A System Out of Balance, 2008, Making Memories - Recommended for parents who have been accused by their adult children of sexual molestation or Satanic Ritual Abuse for themselves and for their children.Also recommended for professionals dealing with these issues.Laura Pasley was the first woman to show how she was victimized in the name of the Recovered Memory Movement. Her story begins in 1985 when she sought help for an eating disorder. Within weeks she was wrongly diagnosed as having seen severely sexually traumatized as a child and her consequent therapy was focused on "recovering" memories of that abuse.Making Memories is a documentary of Pasley's descent into drug-and-therapy-induced mental illness and her recovery six years later. Patrick E. Clancy joins Pasley in exploring the development and uncritical acceptance of this dangerous therapy movement of the nineties., Making Memories, 2008
