A System Out of Balance (58-minute video)
Recommended for those who have been falsely accused and are facing
legal action in
criminal, juvenile or family law court.
Child abuse has become the witch hunt of the twentieth century because
of the unbridled power
of the judicial system and child protection agencies. 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.
Making Memories (58 Min. Video)
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.
