I have a friend whose daughter has apparently falsely accused her deceased father of sexual abuse. My friend went through terrible pain and guilt only to discover that the repressed memories were of incidents that could not have occurred because the father was not in the home at the time.

The daughter is now in therapy and among other things is diagnosed with a hysterical personality. Apparently she saw something on TV about repressed memories and somehow convinced herself she had been sexually abused.

Sue, I wondered if you had ever encountered this and if you have any advice on how to handle it.
