Recovered memories strongly influence various subcultures; from conspiracy theories, to a belief in past lives, right through to alien abductions. So are they reliable? Psychologists claim they are not. They say the boundary between memory and fantasy is much more porous than we take it to be, and it is entirely possible to rebrand fantasy as memory, up to and including inventing entire chunks of our biographies. Meanwhile, some psychotherapists believe they are regressing clients to childhood, where they can recover long repressed memories of abuse, and that doing so is an essential part of a healing process. Do either of these possibilities sound even remotely plausible?
