Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Canadian Psychiatric Association has taken the position that childhood memories later recovered in adulthood are of questionable reliability and should never be accepted without corroboration. This is in line with the views of many experts in the field who believe that while memories of childhood trauma can sometimes be forgotten and then later remembered, there is a danger of false memories being created through suggestive or coercive techniques. Therefore, any recovered memories should be treated with caution and subject to additional verification.
