Forgetting Sexual Trauma: What Does It Mean When 38% Forget?
Loftus, Elizabeth F.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v62 n6 p1177-81 Dec 1994
Discusses findings from L.M. Williams study (1994). Findings do not provide cogent support for claim that childhood sexual trauma is routinely banished from conscious awareness and then can be reliably recovered later. Findings do support claim that many children can forget about a sexually abusive experience from their past. (BF)
