Presenters will discuss growing evidence that recovered memories are often false or twisted beyond recognition by the questionable or coercive techniques used to retrieve them.
Registered media are welcome to attend.
A separate series of meetings for patients and families is being held at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport Marriott on March 22 and 23. Other presentations at the professional meeting will outline standards for dealing with psychiatric disorders that may be linked to memory problems, and describe methods for helping patients and families harmed by non-standard treatments and the creation of false memories.
