False Memory Syndrome Foundation

False Memory Syndrome Foundation is an organization committed to understanding False Memory Syndrome and its impact. Their mission is to identify and catalog the mitigating factors that facilitate the spread of False Memory Syndrome, why it proves traumatic for families and how to prevent it. Staff also hope to assist with family reunification related to False Memory Syndrome. According to the organization, False Memory Syndrome affects individuals and families by mixing fact with fantasy to create invented memories. The origins of the condition trace back to recovered memory practices which induced supposedly repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse. Though the False Memory Syndrome Foundation is no longer active, the organization maintains a website that provides easy access to vital research and information about memory, family reunification following the identification of False Memory Syndrome and resources to help identify root causes for false memory. They direct individuals toward new research over the past decade that helps track the causes and effects of False Memory Syndrome.
