R. Christopher Barden Ph.D., J.D., L.P. is the director of the National Association for Consumer Protection In Mental Health Practices [1]
A licensed psychologist attorney, Barden has participated as an attorney or consultant in lawsuits against "recovered memory" therapists.[2] A amicus curiae brief to the California Supreme Court drafted by Barden and signed by nearly 100 international experts in the field of human memory emphasized there is no credible scientific support for the notions of repressed and recovered memories.[3]
