Is repressed memory fact or fiction? What role should therapists
play in determining the truth? What, if any, weight should these
'memories' be given when prosecuting claims of child sexual abuse?
Noted experts seek answers that could affect thousands of lives.
Tabloid talk shows and the courts are overflowing with adults
alleging sexual and other abuses they endured as children. Parents
have been hauled into court, convicted, and jailed over their
children's claims of abuse, many of which have been based upon
'memories' that have surfaced after therapists employed dubious
techniques and suggestive 'therapies'. In some cases, the abuse
really did occur. Alarmingly, in other cases, it did not. Noted
psychologist and author Robert A Baker states that experienced and
responsible therapists vehemently disagree about the nature,
source, and reliability of these 'memories'. In this book, doctors,
therapists, victims, researchers, and others search for answers in
seven major areas: memory and its recovery, childhood trauma,
repression and amnesia, hypnosis, suggestibility, professional
problems and ethical issues, as well as needed research and legal
implications. Distinguished contributors include Maggie Bruck,
Stephen J Ceci, Gail Goodman, James Hudson, John F Kihlstrom,
Elizabeth Loftus, Richard Ofshe, Harrison Pope, Leonore Terr, Ralph
Underwager, Hillida Wakefield, Ethan Watters, Michael Yapko, and
over 20 others.
