Or does the mind protect itself by banishing traumatic memories from consciousness? How victims remember trauma is the most controversial issue in psychology today  spilling out of consulting rooms and laboratories to capture headlines  rupture families  provoke legislative change  and influence criminal trials and civil suits. This book  by a clinician who is also a laboratory researcher  is the first comprehensive  balanced analysis of the clinical and scientific evidence bearing on this issueand the first to provide definitive answers to the urgent questions at the heart of the controversy.  Synthesizing clinical case reports and the vast research literature on the effects of stress  suggestion  and trauma on memory  Richard McNally arrives at significant conclusions  first and foremost that traumatic experiences are indeed unforgettable. Though people sometimes do not think about disturbing experiences for long periods of time  traumatic events rarely slip from awareness for very long; furthermore  McNally reminds us  failure to think about traumassuch as early sexual abusemust not be confused with amnesia or an inability to remember them. In fact  the evidence for repressed memories of traumaor even for repression at allis surprisingly weak.  A magisterial work of scholarship  panoramic in scope and nonpartisan throughout  this unfailingly lucid work will prove indispensable to anyone seeking to understand how people remember trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666094088245,"sku":"ByrdShop_0674018028","price":52.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780674018020.jpg?v=1782419095","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/remembering-trauma-9780674018020","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
