False memories can be implanted that has been proven. An irresponsible or ill-trained therapist can make a mistake. There was a big scandal here in Houston in the 90's.
But child sex rings that use trappings of satanism have also been proved. And many priest stories are not recovered memories, but always remembered. Some priests have admitted.
Jon Allen (of Menninger) in his book "Coping With Trauma", is of the opinion that it is more important to deal with the symptoms and the patients version of reality than to go back looking for abuse that might have happened or disproving abuse that might not have.
It's about getting healthy in the now.
