False Memory Syndrome:
It sounds far-fetched enough to become a Jeffrey Archer bestseller. The daughter of a respected pillar of the community goes to hospital complaining of a sore stomach. With no physical diagnosis, she is referred to a psychiatrist. He uses a controversial technique unlocking, through dreams and hypnosis, hidden painful "memories" of brutal and sadistic sexual abuse by her father. The daughter later recovers, and confirms no such thing ever took place. But by then it’s too late - her father’s reputation is already ruined. His family do not trust him. Now he seeks revenge on the psychiatrist.

False Memory Syndrome:
The scene was something from a bygone age. The accused, a soft-spoken, unmarried woman of 34, wore a long, blue dress from neck to ankle. She sat in the "prisoner's box," an elevated pew in the centre of the splendid 19th-century courtroom. The room was filled with people in Amish dress -- men with broad-brimmed hats, women in homemade cotton, little boys with hair cut in the shape of inverted bowls. Except for the closed-circuit camera, it could have been the century before last. Or maybe Salem.
