False Allegations - Men's Rights Agency

Forensic psychiatrist uncovers the truth behind false allegations

The author, Dr Lucire, a forensic psychiatrist sees the Recovered (or False) Memory phenomenon, commonly associated with false accusations of child sexual abuse, as part of a wider dysfunction of a counselling industry whose practitioners lack clinical training, and worse, are sometimes mentally disordered themselves.

Posted 9/8/97 Ref. 18a/b

MRA has received a comprehensive study, conducted by a Family Court associate, questioning the legitimacy of the application of the "lingering doubt" premise that was relied on during two landmark cases during the late 1980's.
