"Mind games"?

CBS News Affiliate Channel 2 in Chicago did an excellent two-part story last month about the power of hypnosis and controversial therapies.

Within this compelling piece reported by Pam Zekman viewers actually can observe hypnotherapy sessions and see how suggestible people are, while in a hypnotic trance.

Under the influence of a self-proclaimed "psychologist" participants recall "past lives."

It is easy to see through this televised two-part series how some bizarre claims of "ritual abuse" and/or "alien UFO abductions" can be created through implanted or false memories.

A virtual subculture exists in America today composed of "satanic ritual abuse" and "alien abduction" "survivors," many basing their claims upon "recovered" memories brought forth through such controversial modes of therapy.
