Frequently Asked Questions

Purposes of the Foundation:

• To seek the reasons for the spread of False Memory Syndrome (FMS);
• To work for the prevention of new cases of False Memory Syndrome; and
• To aid the victims of False Memory Syndrome, and to bring their families into reconciliation.

The Foundation will pursue these ends by collaborating with the    professions in the following ways:
 

• By publicizing the nature and prevalence of False Memory Syndrome, the conditions and practices causing and sustaining it, and the steps that affected individuals can take to bring truth and well-being back into their lives;
• By providing access to counseling, and guidance to those who are injured and hurt;
• By promoting and sponsoring competent scientific and medical research in False Memory Syndrome, and disseminating the results to the professions; and
• By helping the secondary victims (those falsely accused) to establish reliable methods to discriminate between true and false claims of incest and abuse charges, and the psychological and other reasons they are made, including the intentional or unwitting suggestion of therapists and therapeutic programs.
