Loftus, Elizabeth F.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1994
Discusses findings from L.M. Williams study (1994).

Findings do support claim that many children can forget about a sexually abusive experience from their past. (BF)

Williams, Linda Meyer – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1994
Forgetting can take place even when the abuse occurred when the child was older, had experienced dramatic events surrounding the abuse, or had suffered repeated molestation. It is argued here that research suggests that memory of child sexual abuse may be influenced by more than the "simple forgetting" that E. Loftus et al. suggested.…

Williams, Linda Meyer – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1994
Of the 129 women interviewed, a large portion (38%) did not recall abuse reported 17 years earlier. Those who were younger when abuse occurred or were molested by an acquaintance were more likely to have no recall. Implications for research and practice are discussed. Periods with no memory should not suggest abuse never occurred. (52 references)…

Contrary to the media's depiction, the majority come from two-parent homes, have no prior…
