  2. “Creating Hysteria” – I didn’t see that one before but it sums the whole thing up.

  3. The incidence spike on this seems to coincide with the increase in parental abuse allegations resulting from repressed memory therapy. They both go way up in the 80’s and early 90’s, then dramatically drop around 1994. Like mass delusion. I haven’t studied it, though.
