Abstract
Social Work education's ethical and moral responsibilty to prepare its graduates to deal with clients competently led to a descriptive study of MSW programs to find how they were educating their students in the areas of memory, memory retrieval or recall and repression. The importance of including this content on memory in graduate curricula has recently surfaced, largely because of the current debate on the accuracy of decade-delayed recall of memories of childhood incest and the recently uncovered phenomenon of False Memory Syndrome. Responses from 48 MSW programs indicate that most students are not exposed to content on memory or memory retrieval, and of those who are introduced to this concept, the exposure is minimal.
