Recovered memories

My work addressing the rise of the recovered memory movement in New Zealand largely spanned 1994 until 1998 and was the topic of my Master in General Practice (University of Otago) thesis in 1997.

Parents and other relatives accused of sexual abuse on the basis of recovered memories: a New Zealand family survey

Goodyear-Smith FA. MGP thesis, University of Otago, 154 pp. Aug 1997

I addressed this issue in depth in many of the monthly newsletters I wrote for Casualties of Sexual Allegations (COSA) between 1994 and 1999.
