The phenomenon of recovered memories has excited much controversyin recent years amongst professionals with extreme positions beingheld: either all such memories are, by definition false, or anysuch claim is an attempt to deny the victims of abuse their rightsto confront their abusers. In this refreshing new approach to theproblem Graham Davies and Tim Dalgleish have assembled leadingfigures from both sides of the debate to provide a balancedoverview of empirical evidence as well as evidence from clinicalpractice.
Recovered Memories: Seeking the middle ground, unlike most otherwriting on the topic, eschews extreme positions. It providesclinicians with findings from the latest research to enhance theirunderstanding of memory and presents pure researchers with a rangeof experiences encountered in clinical practice for which theypresently have few explanations. Topics include the impact onfamily and community members, the latest findings on implantedmemories and discussion of clinical guidelines for therapeuticpractice to avoid potential influence on memory. Having weighed theevidence, a framework is offered in which true and false recoveredmemories are seen as the inevitable compliment of true and falsecontinuous memories.
This important new collection should not be missed by anyone withan interest in memory, whether engaged in a clinical, legal, childprotection, family welfare or experimental research capacity. It isthe most authoritative and comprehensive review of the evidence onboth sides available to date.
