The Wall Street Journal, of all publications, has just reviewed Paul McHugh's new book, _Try to Remember_, on the madness that characterized the repressed memory movement.
A vivid quote from the review: "No medieval peasant praying to a household god for the recovery of his pig could have been more credulous [about repressed memory therapy] than scores of psychiatrists, hosts of therapists and thousands of willing victims". Dalrymple, T. (2008). Destructive delusions. Wall Street Journal, November 19, 2008.
