| Abstract | There have been very few recent decisions regarding the admissibility of 'memories' of childhood sexual abuse which arise for the first time in the therapeutic context. This paper argues that both 'recovered memories,' and the testimony of experts validating 'repressed and recovered memory theory,' should be deemed inadmissible under Daubert and (as applies to the 'recovered memories' of witnesses for the prosecution in criminal cases) under the Confrontation Clause of the Federal Constitution. This paper also examines the current state of law regarding the admissability of 'repressed and recovered memory' testimony in the state of California. |
