The text discusses therapist-guided “recovered”

memories. Which of the following statements represents an appropriate conclusion about this issue?

a. Therapists who use hypnosis are likely to help their patients retrieve repressed memories.

b. Statistics indicate that childhood sexual abuse rarely occurs; therefore, recovered memories of such abuse must be false.

c. Memories are only rarely recovered; once you are unable to retrieve a memory you will probably never be able to retrieve it.

d. One indicator of whether a recovered memory is true is the patient’s emotional response; only true recovered memories are emotionally upsetting.

e. Since the brain is not sufficiently mature to store accurate memories of events before the age of 3, memories from the first 3 years of life are not reliable.
