Thank you for your patience while we collect our thoughts to prepare an essay on this topic. While you wait, here is a sneak preview of reference material that will be incorporated into the coming essay: Reinder Van Til's book, Lost Daughters: Recovered Memory Therapy and the People It Hurts (Eerdmans, 1997), contains an extensive bibliography on memory therapy. The books he credits with helping him the most in writing his own book are: Mark Pendergrast's Victims of Memory: Incest Accusations and Shattered Lives (Upper Access Books, 1996); Debbie Nathan and Michael Snedeker's Satan's Silence: Ritual Abuse and the Making of a Modern American Witch Hunt (Basic Books, 1995); Elizabeth Loftus and Katherine Ketcham's The Myth of Repressed Memory: False Memories and Allegations of Sexual Abuse (St. Martin's Press, 1994); Richard Ofshe and Ethan Watters's Making Monsters: False Memories, Psychotherapy, and Sexual Hysteria (Scribner's, 1994).
