    Dr. Asher’s book, “Mellow-Speak”, produced the funniest Doonesbury strip ever. (May 16, 1979).

    That’s pretty much how the whole McMartin preschool scandal happened.

    The power of suggestion. Similar technique to what some phony psychics use in “reading” someone in the audience: Throw out a generic suggestion and if no one happens to react to it, immediately shift to another. Most people will notice only the hits and forget the misses.

    The guy’s a phony.

    I was sort of expecting Dan to say: “There’s a killer on the road, and his brain is squirming like a toad”.

    Consider this excerpt from an interview with a five-year old child in the Wee Care abuse case in New Jersey:

    Interviewer: “Did she put the fork in your butt? Yes or no?”

    Child: “I don’t know. I forgot.”

    Interviewer: “Oh, come on. If you just answer that you can go.”

    Child: “I hate you.”

    Interviewer: “No you don’t.”

    Child: “Yes I do.”

    Interviewer: “You love me, I can tell. Is that all she did to you? What did she do to your hiney?”

    Second Adult: “What did she do to your hiney? Then you can go.”

    Child: “I forget.”

    Second Adult: “Tell me what Kelly did to your hiney and then you can go. If you tell me what she did to your hiney, we’ll let you go.”

    Child: “No.”

    Interviewer: “Please.”

    Child: “OK, OK, OK.”

    Interviewer: “Tell me now….What did Kelly do to your hiney?”

    Child: “I’ll try to remember.”

    Interviewer: “What did she put in your hiney?”

    Child: “The fork.”

    the point here is the ‘past life regressions’ that were big in the 90’s were thougroughly discredited even to those who believe in past life because the leader (I refuse to say Doctor) all too often used leading questions.
