Video: Documentary Divided Memories (1)


35:02 Minute Length
PBS Frontline Documentary by Ofra Bikel. Originally aired April, 1995.
Part 1 (of 2): The Hunt for Memories

My favorite part of this video is the commentary by Dr. Paul Simpson who actually used regression memory therapy as a counselor for a time.  Dr. Simpson (wrote a book called "Second Thoughts") who was surrounded by a counselors in the hospital he worked at using recovered memory therapy.   After investigation and analysis he doubted that the therapy recovered truthful memories and he recognized that the therapy made the clients less functional. In the panic and hysteria of the 1990's he was a voice of sanity and reason.  A main stream media film that asserts truth over the popular opinion of the time.

================================== 
WARNING
  If you are seeking help for personal struggles and a therapist, counselor or friend says that "recovering childhood memories can help you get better" then IMMEDIATELY get up from your chair (or off the couch), run to the door, open it and flee. Hundreds of thousands have lost families, years of productive living and squandered immense wealth with tragedy inducing therapy that produces horrid false memories, splinters families, isolates the client and is documented to cause decline in mental health.
