New Michael Jackson Accusation Based on Recovered Memory
by TChris
The latest accusation against Michael Jackson stems from a notoriously unreliable source: a "repressed" memory that the accuser "recovered" in therapy.
"In my opinion, one has to be incredibly suspect of recovered memory," Beverly Hills psychiatrist Dr. Howard Shapiro told Reuters. "The younger the subject was (when the incident occurred), the less they're able to make sense of the experience, and when they remember it later they may put an interpretation on it," he said.
Some "recovered" memories are imagined, some are induced or encouraged by the therapist. If that's all there is to the latest accusation against Jackson, it doesn't merit prosecution.
