   He added: “In these experiments, we slightly nudged people’s appraisals of their mothers. But this may happen in a bigger way in the real world. “Talking to a therapist for years in a way that reconstructs a client’s childhood, and then linking this to their problems, could cause more significant reappraisals of their parents.” He concluded: “I believe that clients should be aware of the side effects of therapy, and there should be a line or two on the malleability of memory on the forms people sign before therapy begins. “It would also help if all therapists were taught in their training about the ways memory can be distorted.” While the authors said that negative evaluations of parents could be useful in cases of abuse, it might cause “rifts” over time. “In many other types of clients, therapists making negative comments could have a powerful effect that far exceeds our experimental nudges,” Patihis said. “For example, ‘Wow, your mother sounds like a controlling type,’ if repeated enough by therapists, might cause reappraisals and family rifts over time.”
