Product Description

Product Description
Can a long-forgotten memory of a horrible event suddenly resurface years later? How can we know whether a memory is true or false? Seven spellbinding cases shed light on why it is rare for a reclaimed memory to be wholly false. Here are unforgettable true stories of what happens when people remember what theyve tried to forgetplus one case of genuine false memory. In the best detective-story fashion, using her insights as a psychiatrist and the latest research on the mind and the brain, Lenore Terr helps us separate truth from fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a book by someone who STUDIED actual Trauma Victims!, 10 May 1999
By A Customer
It was so good to read something on this dreadful subject by someone who did acutual studies of Trauma victims instead of just dismissing the subject and saying there is now way for someone to forget and remember such horrible things. More and more research is showing that truama leaves physical scars on the brain and I hope that it is only a matter of time before there is an easy and proven way to test a person with recovered memories for this physical proof to back them up when searching for justice. Thank God for Lenore Terr and researchers like her who are looking for the Truth and NOT a way to prove their ideas at the expence of the truth!

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of my book list., 6 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This is one of the best books I have ever read. Too Scared to Cry is also excellent but I prefer this one because of the different cases and personal issues of the people studied.

5.0 out of 5 stars In Depth Look at Repressed Memory With Famous Case Studies, 8 Jan 1997
By A Customer
This is one of the very best books I have read. Lenore Terr is a psychiatrist who has devoted her career to the study of repressed memory and post traumatic stess syndrome both in children and adults who suffered traumatic events in their childhoods. Effectively weaving the biology of memory and the mechanics of suppression through seven highly publicized true stories, this book is fascinating, educating, and highly readable. Dr. Terr manages to convey a large amount of highly technical knowledge without talking down to the reader and manages to convey the knowledge in terms any layman can understand. The stories she shares, most of whom she has worked on, are interesting and are a testament to both man's capacity for cruelty and his (and hers) strength and ability to endure and eventually triumph. The first two chapters delve into the famous case of Eileen Franklin who testified against her father about the rape and murder of her childhood friend twenty years before. In recovering her memories, Eileen also discovers the physical and sexual abuse that, though "forgotten", has shaped her life for years. Dr. Terr interviewed Ms. Franklin on several occassions and eventually went on to testify at the trial overcoming the arguments of False Memory Syndrom advocate Elizabeth Loftus in eloquent and detailed terms. Subsequent chapters are equally fascinating. As a victim and a survivor myself, this book offered validation to my own suppressed memories and hope for brighter tomorrows.
