 Freud had a lot of data as evidence for the seduction theory, but rather than presenting the actual data on which he based his conclusions (his clinical cases and what he had learned from them) or the methods he used to acquire the data (his psychoanalytic technique), he instead addressed only the evidence that the data he reportedly acquired were accurate (that he had discovered genuine abuse).He thought that the community could not yet handle the clinical case stories about sexual abuse.He did not want to present these stories before the seduction theory had become more accepted.
