From the supplier: Controversy about recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse shows no signs of decreasing. Some of the people who recovered memories of abuse in therapy have sued alleged abusers, with mixed results. Some 23 states have incorporated the delayed discovery doctrine into statute of limitations law, allowing these suits to take place. Some experts have disputed the reliability of recovered memories, and the credentials of counselors who have aided clients to recover memories have been questioned as well. Patients who came to doubt the reliability of their recovered memories have even sued therapists for malpractice.
