Memory, Trauma Treatment and the Law: An Essential Reference on Memory for Clinicians, Researchers, Attorneys and Judges

This reference work critically reviews memory research, trauma treatment and legal cases pertaining to the false memory controversy. It is designed for clinicians, researchers, solicitors and judges who wish to understand the workings of memory in and out of the therapeutic arena. It discusses current memory science, pointing out where findings can and cannot be generalized to trauma memories recovered in psychotherapy. The authors have reviewed the development of the current practice of phase-orientated trauma treatment and present a standard of care that is effective and ethical.
