As one of the most hotly debated topics of the past decade, false
memory has attracted the interest of researchers and practitioners
in many of psychology's subdisciplines. Real-world issues
surrounding the credibility of memories (particularly memories of
traumatic events, such as sexual abuse) reported by both children
and adults have been at the center of this debate. Were the adults
actually retrieving repressed memories under the careful direction
of psychotherapists, or were the memories being "created" by
repeated suggestion? Were children telling investigators about
events that actually happened, or were the interviewing techniques
used to get at unpleasant experiences serving to implant memories
that eventually became their own? There is evidence in the
psychological research literature to support both sides, and the
potential impact on individuals, families, and society as a whole
has been profound. This book is an attempt to cut through the
undergrowth and get at the truth of the "recovered
memory/false-memory creation" puzzle. The contributors review
seminal work from their own research programs and provide theory
and critical evaluation of existing research that is necessary to
translate theory into practice. The book will be of great value to
basic and applied memory researchers, clinical and social
psychologists, and other professionals working within the helping
and legal professions.
