ABSTRACT
This also seems to be the view of the so-called recovered-memory therapy movement, which believes that there are events which are so difficult and horrible (and sexual) that they are totally repressed, to emerge at some later date, prompted by some association or similarity. The problem with this assumption is that it is extremely difficult to verify such memory recovery, either because there is no independent confirmation of the event or because we can never know whether it really was forgotten at all.1
