Which of the following is a major problem with recovered memories?

A) All psychologists agree that trauma does not cause memories to be repressed.
B) Recovery of traumatic memories would have no therapeutic benefit.
C) The techniques used to recover memories tend to be the same ones used by researchers to create false memories.
D) No one has ever claimed to have successfully recovered a repressed memory.

Answer: C
Rationale: Some therapists try to help patients recover repressed memories, arguing that this can help them find ways to cope with the repressed trauma. Many people have reported recovering memories this way, however skeptics point out that the techniques that might help "recover" a memory bear a striking resemblance to those that are used to create false memories in laboratory research.
