To the point
Letter to
the Editor
by Lynley Hood, Dunedin
Those who have never heard of Jeffrey Masson and
Emma Davies should read Janet Malcolm's In
the Freud Archives.
Those wondering what the fuss is about should read A City Possessed and make up their own minds.
Four sources used by Masson and Davies to support their extravagant claims
about the prevalence of child sexual abuse have been discredited; the other
two have been misrepresented. Even if their claims were true, that would not
make Peter Ellis guilty. Our justice system determines guilt on reliable
evidence and due process, not statistics.
