Is there anyone here who has done narcoanalysis?

I've never heard of it, Liza. What are the basic principles?

Dinah- it is a drug-induced hypnotic state.

Be careful. I think that I have heard that this can be very risky--I think that some of the "false memory" cases involved drug induced hypnosis--like "truth serum". I think what can happen is a blurring of real memories with what is suggested by questions. BTW, I am not a "false memory" advocate. I do believe repressed memories can be recovered, but I also believe there has been a fair amount of malpractice around the blurring of recovered and false memories.
Memory is a tricky thing, and I am not sure that playing around with drug-induced hypnotic states is a great idea. JMHO.

Noa,
I will take into account what you said. I have a problem with repressed memories and don't know what can be done about that. Your post made me think. Thanks for that.
