Exploring the concept of repressed memories, this book delves into the historical context that shaped modern psychology and psychotherapy. It analyzes how human memory functions, critiques misguided theories, and highlights the brain's reconstructive nature along with suggestibility studies. The resurgence of belief in repressed memories among professionals and the public is examined, culminating in legal and professional recommendations for those involved in repressed memory therapy.
