Well, last I heard evolutionary theory and space alien abductions were not being debated among psychologists. But there were psychologists (including some very well-regarded ones) who were looking at the recovered memory issue. I have not carefully followed that debate, so I will not argue it here except to note that in the professional literature I had not seen much of anything about the disputed side. (Come on. "Entertainment Tonight" and "The National Enquirer" don't count.)
But more to the core of this: To take one act that an individual engaged in and demonize the rest of him reminds me of tactics used in another recent presidential election. Tell you what. If the two Paul's and Stephen will give their permission, I will forward this thread to Koocher himself and let him respond to your concerns. I look forward to hearing from the 3 of you.
I have no problem with this. Hopefully his current position is, as one might say, nuanced.
