Freud's abandonment of the seduction theory within a year of first proposing it has been the subject of considerable recent debate and speculation. Closer examination of Freud's writings, however, shows that he had often used highly suggestive procedures to elicit the memories of childhood "seductions" from his patients. Moreover, he had not considered alternative explanations for the evidence he presented when first claiming that these recovered memories of sexual abuse were real. Nevertheless, some present-day authors have argued for the validity of recovered memories by presenting much the same type of evidence that Freud once did. Research is needed to assess the extent to which recovered memories can be clearly corroborated and to establish rules for distinguishing between real and false memories of abuse.
弗洛伊德在首次提出诱奸理论后的一年内就放弃了该理论，这在最近引发了相当多的争论和猜测。然而，对弗洛伊德著作的仔细研究表明，他经常使用极具暗示性的方法来从他的病人那里引出童年“诱奸”的记忆。此外，当他最初声称这些恢复的性虐待记忆是真实的时候，他并没有考虑对他所呈现的证据的其他解释。尽管如此，一些当代作者通过呈现与弗洛伊德曾经使用的大致相同类型的证据来论证恢复记忆的有效性。需要进行研究以评估恢复记忆能够得到明确证实的程度，并建立区分真实和虚假虐待记忆的规则。
