Can you point me to some links on implanting false memories?

I have read the opinion that nearly all of the supposed repressed memories retrieved by psychotherapists were created by the therapists. I have an open mind on this. I know that, even without intervention, to one degree or another, we distort memories to serve our own purposes. I can easily see how someone in a vulnerable position could fall prey to the suggestions of a therapist.
What I would like are specific scientific studies related to this. How is it possible to distinguish a true repressed memory from a false one? Is everyone vulnerable to implanted memories or just some people? Does it depend on the circumstances? As a natural born skeptic, would I be less prone to memory implantation?
