The False Memory Syndrome Foundation on the Memory and Reality
Website (http://www.fmsfonline.org/) offers information about “false

judgment is a difficult call. <p>There is another legal dilemma worth
noting: Alan Dershowitz has written a book, <EM>The Abuse
Excuse</EM>, in which he describes the common situation of an
accused claiming to be innocent because “I was abused.” As a lawyer,
Dershowitz fears that the acceptance of psychological explanations for
wrong-doing would lead to the end the “rule of law.” The law assumes
that the accused is responsible for whatever he or she does. This is not
a simple matter for a thoughtful determinist (see chapter 14).
