In Chapter 15 we read that Wigmore took some previous “wisdom” about women’s credibility regarding rape and added some Freud into the mix. The irony.
Freud truly did have some good ideas that have been incorporated into later psychology. But one analysis is that a lot of his understanding of women's sexuality is based on disbelieving claimed victims of incest/molestation on the one hand, or identifying 'hysteria' as caused by repressed memories of such molestation on the other. Nothing so straightforward as taking them at their word. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freud...
In other words, nothing you'd really want to transplant into a court of law and a process of finding facts.
