Amytal is sodium amobarbital, a barbituate. It is given
in a controled theraputic setting so someone can talk about
traumatic issues. This makes is easy for the theripist to really
find out what the issues are and makes it easier for the patient
to speak about them. It also makes it more comfortable for the patient.
It is a legit method used for very tramatic issues. In a controlled setting
a barbituate is very safe. it is only done once or just a few times, I think.
Try doing a web search on "sodium amytal interview". Try:

The caveat is the whole "false memory" issue so make sure you do it with someone reputable.james
