Beginning in the 1990s, the contentious "memory wars" divided
psychologists into two schools of thought: that adults' recovered
memories of childhood abuse were generally true, or that they were
generally not, calling theories, therapies, professional ethics,
and survivor credibility into question. More recently, findings
from cognitive psychology and neuroimaging as well as new
theoretical constructs are bringing balance, if not reconciliation,
to this polarizing debate. Based on presentations at the 2010
Nebraska Symposium on Motivation, True and False Recovered
Memories: Toward a Reconciliation of the Debate assembles an expert
panel of scholars, professors, and clinicians to update and expand
research and knowledge about the complex interaction of cognitive,
emotional, and motivational factors involved in remembering-and
forgetting-severe childhood trauma. Contrasting viewpoints,
elaborations on existing ideas, challenges to accepted models, and
intriguing experimental data shed light on such issues as the
intricacies of identity construction in memory, post-trauma brain
development, and the role of suggestive therapeutic techniques in
creating false memories. Taken together, these papers add
significant new dimensions to a rapidly evolving field. Featured in
the coverage: The cognitive neuroscience of true and false
memories. Toward a cognitive-neurobiological model of motivated
forgetting. The search for repressed memory. A theoretical
framework for understanding recovered memory experiences. Cognitive
underpinnings of recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse.
Motivated forgetting and misremembering: perspectives from betrayal
trauma theory. Clinical and cognitive psychologists on all sides of
the debate will welcome True and False Recovered Memories as a
trustworthy reference, an impartial guide to ongoing controversies,
and a springboard for future inquiry.
