Kihlstrom wrote a positive book review in the New England Journal of Medicine, stating that it was "a jeremiad, calling the field to police itself before the fall of recovered-memory therapy takes legitimate psychotherapy down with it."[4]
Butler argued that the book "persuasively" made its arguments.[1] She stated that it does not "discuss many other cases that might contradict these books' central article of faith"[3] and that the authors were "remarkably uninterested in the vagaries of memory of those who have sexually abused children."[1] Butler concluded that while the book was a positive development for people who were falsely accused of sexual misconduct, she was afraid it would cause the formation of experts doubting sexual abuse victims and that it would "once again silence women and men from speaking--and being believed--about very real abuse".[3]
In 1994 Publishers Weekly stated that the book was "the most thoroughgoing and powerful critique to date of the use of recovered memories in psychotherapy."[2]
