| Abstract: | Supports K. S. Pope's (see record 83-37387) questioning of claims made by proponents of the false memory syndrome. The author suggests that the literature reviewed by Pope further indicates that the facility which with false memories may be produced is related to the distance between real experience and the imposed distortion. The relative malleability of memory is an important theoretical and practical issue, as is the use of memory retrieval in psychotherapy.
