This book is grounded in the debates of the 1980s and 1990s that
surrounded recollections of childhood sexual abuse, particularly
those that emerged in the context of psychotherapy. When growing
numbers of therapists claimed that they were recovering deeply
repressed memories of early sexual violations in their female
clients, a wave of alarmed critics countered that therapists were
implanting the very memories they were discovering. In looking back
at this volatile and heated controversy, Memory Matters takes up
disturbing questions that linger concerning memory, sexuality, and
childhood. Beginning with a re-analysis of cases from the recovered
memory era, the volume goes on to offer fresh perspectives on
recollections of childhood sexual abuse. Informed by feminist and
critical perspectives within psychology, contributing authors
introduce examples from their own qualitative research on processes
of remembering. They offer rich examples from a wide range of
applied settings, from the courts, psychotherapy, institutions for
the disabled, to self-help groups and the media. A shared set of
questions is addressed by each of the authors to create a dialogue
with the reader on recurring motifs. Memory Matters is an ideal
resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in
the social sciences and legal studies, as well as practitioners in
the fields of mental health, crisis services, and the law.
Scholarly and accessible in tone, the book also offers helpful
insights for professionals working with childhood memory.
