There is no such thing as "recovered memory therapy".
There are clinicians who have utilized hypnosis to facilitate the retieval of memory in cases involving abuse OR other criminal circumstances.
Umm, okay. The use of hypnosis to facilitate the retrieval of memory is known as recovered memory therapy. It's controversial. If you have evidence that it works, please share. I really don't know what to say to the charge that it doesn't exist.
Exactly where do you get your assertion that,"(virtually all) people who suffer abuse as children don't forget". How do you know this? What do you use to assure yourself of this?
I don't assure myself of that. I believe it to be true, based on what I've read, experienced, and learned from others. Also, for the sake of clarity my actual quote was: "while most (virtually all) people who suffer abuse as children don't forget, they may not always or immediately remember completely."
And why is it that you assume that in order for an event to be real, no part of it can have been forgotten?
I don't assume any such thing. Nor did I say any such thing. In fact, that's the opposite of what I said.
