Paul J. Stern, recently retired prosecutor<\/a>\u00a0in Snohomish County, Wash., has long served the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children as a board member and as an instructor on forensic interviewing.<\/p>\n

At the least his June presentation<\/a>\u00a0to a large audience of APSAC conventioneers promised to be provocative: \u201cWhat Practices Are We Engaging in Now That 15 Years From Now We\u2019re Going to Look Back on and Think \u2018What in the World Were We Thinking?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

But the title paled in comparison with what Stern went on to say about the rap sheet of this ostensibly professional organization \u2013 its serial gullibility about \u201csatanic ritual abuse,\u201d \u201cmultiple personality disorder\u201d and various other \u201cmisguided ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

He rambles, and the video suffers from not showing his accompanying PowerPoint. But the case he makes is powerful, unmistakable and surely discomfiting to audience members such as President Emeritus for Life Jon Conte<\/a>\u00a0and Board Member at Large Kathleen Coulborn Faller<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI may irritate a few of you from time to time,\u201d he noted as he began.<\/p>\n
