This book offers a comprehensive overview of the concept of
repressed memories. It provides a history and context that
documents key events that have had an effect on the way that modern
psychology and psychotherapy have developed. Chapters provide an
overview of how human memory functions and works and examine facets
of the misguided theories behind repressed memory. The book also
examines the science of the brain, the reconstructive nature of
human memory, and studies of suggestibility. It traces the
present-day resurgence of a belief in repressed memories in the
general public as well as among many clinical psychologists,
psychiatrists, social workers, "body workers," and others who offer
counseling. It concludes with legal and professional
recommendations and advice for individuals who deal with or have
dealt with the psychotherapeutic practice of repressed memory
therapy. Topics featured in this text include: The modern diagnosis
of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) (once called MPD) The
"Satanic Panic" of the 1980s and its relation to repressed memory
therapy. The McMartin Preschool Case and the "Day Care Sex Panic."
A historical overview from the Great Witch Craze to Sigmund Freud's
theories, spanning the 16th to 19th centuries. An exploration of
the cultural context that produced the repressed memory epidemic of
the 1990s. The repressed memory movement as a religious sect or
cult. The Repressed Memory Epidemic will be of interest to
researchers and clinicians as well as undergraduate and graduate
students in the fields of psychology, sociology, cultural studies,
religion, and anthropology.
