What Does It Mean to Forget Child Sexual Abuse? A Reply to Loftus, Garry and Feldman (1994).
Williams, Linda Meyer
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v62 n6 p1182-86 Dec 1994
Forgetting can take place even when the abuse occurred when the child was older, had experienced dramatic events surrounding the abuse, or had suffered repeated molestation. It is argued here that research suggests that memory of child sexual abuse may be influenced by more than the "simple forgetting" that E. Loftus et al. suggested. (BF)
