Product Description
Review
Rational views of the available evidence [surrounding recovered memory] are rather uncommon...That, in addition to the intrinsic merit of the book, is what makes Jennifer Freyd's "Betrayal Trauma", such an exceptional document and raises it to the level of a landmark contribution. "Betrayal Trauma" is a feat of superb scholarship and remarkable objectivity and integrity...Adroitly employing everyday experiences to make potentially complex processes and concepts immediately accessible, Freyd reviews the literature on both the distortion of memory and the preservation of memory with admirable evenhandedness...Freyd's own theory is simple and elegant...For the scholar, the mental health professional, and the intelligent lay reader, Freyd's rich and rewarding work offers powerful testimony that a scholar with integrity and compassionate rationality can withstand the onslaught of impassioned hysteria and redirect a field's attention to its basic concerns. She has set a new standard for responsible scholarship in this frequently troubled and troublesome area of study. Let us hope her example proves influential. -- Dr. Richard P. Kluft "Pennsylvania Gazette"
Product Description
This work looks at the logic of forgotten abuse. The author's theory shows how psychogenic amnesia not only happens but, if the abuse occurred at the hands of a parent or caregiver, is often necessaary for survival. It should give embattled professionals, beleaguered abuse survivors, and the confused public an understanding of the lifelong effects and treatment of child abuse.
