Beware of anyone who tries hard to persuade you that you have been sexually abused but you have repressed it. Research has shown that memories often distort reality and can be easily influenced by others. Therefore, until we know more about the causes of specific emotional problems, helpers and writers will have to carefully avoid vigorously implanting these destructive ideas. You will occasionally find warnings about specific books in this book. If you don't get the results you want, try something different or get professional help.
Objective measurement is necessary for honest evaluation .
We all live life alone in many ways, even when intimate with someone else. No scientist studies your life. On one knows as much about your life as you do. Thus, you are not only your own therapist, you are your own researcher. Science is simply common sense at its best.
