Disadvantages: To many to count

My sister read this book and suddenly had a repressed memory of childhood abuse by six different individuals. She got into RM groups and was contacted by a lawyer. After destroying our lives and spending thousands of dollars defending our father and brother, an unbiased medical examination she had before these accusation even arose proved that not only was she never abused, but she was still a virgin. Despite this she still believes that our father and brother raped her. She now will have nothing to do with our family.

If you go to “http://www.stopbadtherapy.com/courage/intro.shtml ” you can read the following “The Courage to Heal is totally ignorant of research findings about the functioning of human memory. That should be no surprise. Its authors by their own admission have no training, education, or license to diagnose or treat mental illnesses. Yet the authors of The Courage to Heal confidently promote their book as a tool for recovering from repressed memories of abuse that must have occurred--even if there is no evidence and a woman has no recollection of ever being abused. Would you allow an amateur with no medical training to operate on your heart? Of course not! Why, then, would any sensible person allow two amateurs to operate on her mind? The dangers are just as great”

This isn’t the only website with proof you should avoid this book. A simple internet search shows hundreds of other just like us.

I warn you to avoid this book at all cost or it can destroy your life.
