Flatley and Lucien Greaves talk about the ISSTD, a professional community that has spent decades defending claims many researchers consider discredited. Along the way, they explore the enduring influence of conspiracy thinking in therapeutic settings, the legacy of the Satanic Panic, and why certain beliefs continue to survive long after the evidence behind them has collapsed.Also: Feral House has a new series on TST TV!
