The Myth of Repressed Memory: False Memories and Allegations of Sexual Abuse is a nonfiction work of psychology, legal analysis, and public controversy by Elizabeth Loftus and Katherine Ketcham. Published in the mid-1990s, it examines the recovered memory movement, especially claims that adults could uncover long-repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse through therapy. Loftus, a leading researcher on memory distortion and eyewitness testimony, argues that memory is not a fixed recording of experience but a reconstructive process vulnerable to suggestion, expectation, and social pressure. The book does not deny that child sexual abuse occurs or that survivors may remember traumatic experiences. Its central purpose is narrower and more contentious: to challenge the assumption that recovered memories produced under suggestive conditions should be treated as reliable evidence without corroboration. Combining experimental psychology, case discussion, and legal implications, the book became a major intervention in debates about therapy, testimony, and the limits of autobiographical memory.
