“What about retractors?”

“Dr. Loftus testified that fewer people believe in the concept [of recovered memory] today because of… the hundreds and hundreds of recanters and retractors.” - Judge Dougherty's, in the FMSF Newsletter. [1]

“That brave group of retractors, who had the courage to admit they were in error when they accused parents of abuse… [they] helped create public recognition that false memories were a societal problem.” - Allen Feld, in the FMSF Newsletter. [2]
