The longer I live, the more it seems that no extreme behavior, "good" or "bad", is possible without a preceding crushing trauma. It's the supercompensators that will get us to Mars, folks.
It's easier to instil in someone the feeling of "you're depressed because you have been abused as a child, and if you don't remember the abuse itself it doesn't mean it isn't there, otherwise you wouldn't have been depressed", than to solve real societal issues that are more likely causes for said depression, as I've heard almost no-one say "we'll cure mass depression by making housing more affordable or by providing free child-care".
We don't have time for that, we need to hunt down potential abusers and yell "shame on you" at them in public, and get other people to yell "shame on you" at them. If we broke up the banks tomorrow, would that end racism?
The deed is done. You can't un-pregnant that woman, nor can you un-abuse that child.
Declaring that the abuse shouldn't have happened in the first place does fuck-all for the child who has been abused.
