Indeed, therapists and lawyers have created an industry based on treating and litigating the cases of people who suddenly claim to have recovered memories of everything from child abuse to murder. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book reveals that despite decades of research, there is absolutely no controlled scientific support for the idea that memories of trauma are routinely banished into the unconscious and then reliably recovered years later. Since it is not actually a legitimate psychological phenomenon, the idea of recovered memory--and the movement that has developed alongside it--is thus closer to a dangerous fad or trendy witch hunt.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Elizabeth Loftus, \u003c\/b\u003e a professor of psychology at the University of Washington, is also the author of \u003ci\u003eWitness for the Defense\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEyewitness Testimony\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatherine Ketcham\u003c\/b\u003e is also the co-author of \u003ci\u003eUnder the Influence\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Spirituality of Imperfection\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Influence\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Power of Empathy\u003c\/i\u003e, and other books.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 23, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45313919746150,"sku":"9780312141233","price":31.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/bjdYUnF1OEg5cndzQmNLVDMrRlgvdz09.webp?v=1774327837","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-myth-of-repressed-memory-false-memories-and-allegations-of-sexual-abuse-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
