False Memory Syndrome - Term coined by Pamela Freyd, founder of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, to describe people who have become convinced (usually, but not always, through therapy) that they remember traumatic events in their past which didn't really happen. There is no diagnostic code for "False Memory Syndrome" in the DSM-IV.</p>
<p>
Nowadays few people doubt that it is possible to become convinced of events which never really happened -- and certainly unethical therapy exists. However, FMSF doctors and supporters generally believe that repression of memories is never possible, that multiplicity doesn't exist, and that it is always induced by bad therapy. This is based on their assumption that all multiples claim abuse histories, are in therapy, and have undergone hypnosis to recover memories of abuse. There are several sites dedicated to disproving the assertions of the FMSF.
