Joan has been seeing a therapist for several months. At one session, her therapist suggests that
Joan's emotional difficulties may be due to sexual abuse as a child. Initially, Joan is unable to recall

for many years. Based on social-psychological research findings, Joan's claims should be:

D.) totally discounted
