The term false-memory syndrome was coined between 1992 and 1993 by psychologists and sociologists associated with the False<unk>  Syndrome Foundation, an organization which advocates on behalf of individuals who claim to have been falsely accused of perpetrating child sexual abuse. These researchers argue that RMT can result in patients recalling instances of sexual abuse from their childhood which had not actually occurred. While not a therapeutic technique in and of itself, practitioners of RMT generally utilize methods (such as hypnosis, age regression, guided visualization, and/or the use of substances such as sodium amytal) that are known to support the creation of false<unk> es. A 1994 survey of 1000 therapists by Michael D. Yapko found that 19% of the therapists knew of a case in which a client's<unk>  had been suggested by therapy but was in fact false. An inquiry by the Australian government into the practice found little support for or use of<unk>  recovery therapies among health professionals, and warned that professionals had to be trained to avoid the creation of false<unk> es. A 2018 survey found that although 5% of a U.S. public sample reported recovering<unk> es of abuse during therapy (abuse they reported having no previous<unk>  of), none of them used the terminology<unk><unk>  therapy"—instead those recovering<unk> es reported using a variety of other therapy types (e.g., attachment therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques, etc).
