Pillar of Salt introduces the controversy over recollections of
childhood sexual abuse as the window onto a much broader field of
ideas concerning memory, storytelling, and the psychology of women.
The book moves beyond the poles of "true" and "false" memories to
show how women's stories reveal layers of gendered and ambiguous
meanings, spanning a wide historical, cultural, literary, and
clinical landscape. The author offers the concept of transformative
remembering as an alternative framework for looking back, one that
makes use of fantasy in understanding the narrative truth of
childhood recollections. Haaken provides an alternative reading of
clinical material, showing how sexual storytelling transcends the
symbolic and the "real" and how cultural repression of desire
remains as problematic for women as the psychological legacy of
trauma.
