A Sinister Subtraction paints a realistic and unflinching portrait of "The Memory Wars" of the 1990s, one of the most painfully conflicted and bitterly disputed episodes in the history of the mental health professions. Did accusations of childhood abuse stemming from long-unavailable memories deserve serious consideration? Or should they be dismissed as artefacts unlikely to be true? The clash of these polarized perspectives inflicted painful consequences upon many among the accusers and the accused, and wounded numerous professionals caught up in these angry debates. A mystery and courtroom drama solidly grounded in psychological science, A Sinister Subtraction provides a penetrating study of the lasting impact of childhood sexual, the ongoing vulnerability to revictimization that too often follows mistreated children into their adult lives, and the efforts of abusers to discredit the claims of their accusers.
