Child Sexual Abuse: The Recovered Memory/false Memory Debate The suggestion that therapists may be inducing false memories of childhood incest and sexual abuse in their clients and encouraging them to confront and sever relations with their families has become a controversial issue in the United States and, to a lesser degree, in Canada. The phenomenon of recovered memories of abuse has attracted a great deal of criticism, principally from the accused. This document questions whether child sexual abuse can be a matter of recovered memory or a false memory debate. |
