Is repressed memory fact or fiction? What role should therapists play in determining the truth? What, if any, weight should these memories be given when prosecuting claims of child sexual abuse? Noted experts seek answers that could affect thousands of lives.
Tabloid talk shows and the courts are overflowing with adults alleging sexual and other abuses they endured as children. Parents have been hauled into court, convicted, and jailed over their children's claims of abuse, many of which have been based upon memories that have surfaced after therapists employed dubious techniques and suggestive therapies. In some cases, the abuse really did occur. Alarmingly, in other cases, it did not.
