It fascinated me that the father could recall very vivid images and memories of rapes from his memory , and what fascinated me more was that not even that rapes never happened but professionals interrogation which led to strange conclusion by two genius psychologists. Creating of false memories is real phenomenon and its not just a kind of paradoxical mechanism which can serve to protect powerful people from week or from the law which protects them. Those mechanism of persuasions were able to false called by Freud "suppressed memories" under hypnosis. Practice of hypnosis is forbidden not only because it can persuade people to confess something untrue but also because hypnosis can be harmful in many ways and one of it is surely the bringing frustration. testimony
