Description: Susan Smith, a journalist & counselor, has worked extensively with victims of real sexual abuse - which is why she is so alarmed at the prevalence of false memories of abuse brought on by "survivor psychology." In her book, Survivor Ecology, Smith details her interview, in which she delves inside the minds of scores of therapists who claim to be experts on diagnosing "repressed memories." The findings are disturbing. Naivete about situational dynamics, emotional manipulation, & the power & influence of authority is endemic to the sample. Smith's research reveals that the problems of scientific illiteracy & therapeutic incompetence are widespread. "I believe that memories can be stored in the tissues of the body," one therapist tells the author. "And sometimes people will begin to have symptomatology around their bodies before they have cognitive memories. The body remembers when the mind can't." Smith reveals in her book that survivor psychology is based on myth, superstition, folklore & folk psychology, & incorporates powerful persuasion techniques, sales psychology & aggressive therapeutic modalities. "The spread of 'survivor psychology' is not limited to bad or untrained therapists," Smith writes. "It may be an even worse problem when people with credentials & degrees peddle urban legends & irresponsible & hysterical theories."
