The document discusses the recovered memory debate that emerged in the 1980s regarding memories of traumatic events like childhood sexual abuse that were recovered, often in psychotherapy. Some argue these recovered memories are essential to healing, while others argue many recovered memories are distorted or false. The debate examines different perspectives on recovered memories and mechanisms for forgetting traumatic memories like repression and dissociation. It provides examples of cases involving recovered memories that were later corroborated or found to be false.
This study examined whether misinformation could influence memory for stressful events experienced during military survival training. Over 800 participants took part in a mock prisoner of war camp as part of their training. They experienced an interrogation and a propaganda speech. Participants were later given memory questionnaires that either contained no misinformation, misinformation about interrogation details, a misleading photo, or a misleading video about the propaganda speech. Exposure to misinformation negatively impacted memory accuracy for event details and identification of interrogators. The findings demonstrate that memories for stressful experiences are vulnerable to distortion from misinformation, even in highly trained individuals.
Psychogenic amnesia, also known as dissociative amnesia or functional amnesia, is a mental disorder where a person suddenly forgets personal information, such as events or identities, that are not due to brain damage or disease. It is often caused by traumatic experiences and is a dissociative disorder where the person disconnects from full awareness to block unpleasant memories. Individuals who have experienced trauma like soldiers, abuse victims, or natural disaster survivors have a higher risk. Treatment involves psychotherapy to help understand the cause and develop coping strategies, while medication may help relieve stress and anxiety symptoms.
This document provides an overview of different therapies used to treat psychological disorders and personal problems. It discusses biomedical therapies that use medication and electroconvulsive therapy, as well as various types of psychotherapy including psychoanalytic, humanistic, behavioral, cognitive, and group/family therapies. Key figures and approaches within each therapy type are outlined, along with factors that contribute to effective psychotherapy and considerations for cultural differences.
This document provides an overview of memory processes including encoding, storage and retrieval. It discusses the different types of memory like sensory memory, short-term memory, working memory and long-term memory. The document also examines factors that influence memory like forgetting, false memories, eyewitness testimony and the impact of culture on memory.
Memory refers to the processes of acquiring, storing, and retrieving information and involves three main stages: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory only lasts a brief period of time, while short-term memory can hold information for 20-30 seconds before it is either lost or consolidated into long-term memory through the process of encoding. Long-term memory refers to information that is stored for longer periods and can be implicit or explicit.
Encoding, storage, and retrieval are the three main processes of memory. [1] Encoding involves converting information into a format that can be stored in memory, like converting a document into .pdf format. [2] Storage maintains the encoded information over time through rehearsal strategies like repetition or relating information to prior knowledge. [3] Retrieval locates stored information and brings it back into conscious thought, similar to accessing computer files.
The memory process consists of three steps: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Encoding involves receiving information through visual, acoustic, or semantic means. Storage is the process of rehearsing the encoded information over time. Retrieval is the last step where stored information is recalled after intervals of time have passed. Overall, the memory process allows humans to store and retrieve memories through encoding, storage, and retrieval, with visual encoding seen as one of the more effective methods.
This document summarizes key concepts about memory processes from encoding to retrieval and forgetting. It discusses:
1) How information is encoded in short-term and long-term memory using acoustic, semantic, and visual codes.
2) Techniques for transferring information from short-term to long-term memory like rehearsal, spacing, and mnemonic devices.
3) Two theories of forgetting - interference theory where new information causes forgetting, and decay theory where memory traces gradually disappear.
4) How retrieval is affected by factors like categorization, recency and primacy effects, and is a constructive rather than just reconstructive process.

This document covers the key topics in human memory, including the three main stages of memory (encoding, storage, retrieval), the three main types of memory (sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory), how memories are encoded and stored in the brain, factors that influence forgetting, improving memory techniques, eyewitness testimony issues, and unusual memories. The document provides learning objectives for each major section and includes references to videos and animations to supplement the textual information.
Memory involves encoding, storing, and retrieving information. It has three main stages - encoding where information enters the brain, storage where it is held, and retrieval where it is recalled. There are three types of memory - sensory which holds information briefly, short-term which lasts around 30 seconds, and long-term which can hold memories indefinitely. Factors like attention, motivation, methods of learning, and testing influence how well information is remembered.
The document summarizes cognitive views of learning and information processing in memory. It describes how information moves from sensory memory to working memory, where it connects to long-term memory. Working memory has three parts that hold different types of information temporarily. To retain information in working memory, people use maintenance rehearsal by repeating information or elaborative rehearsal by connecting it to existing knowledge. Long-term memory stores declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge. Teachers can help students learn by focusing their attention, separating essential from nonessential details, making connections to prior knowledge, providing repetition, and presenting material clearly and meaningfully.
This chapter discusses human memory and how information is encoded, stored, and retrieved from memory. It covers the main components of memory including sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. It also discusses how memory works based on information processing theories and explores different ways that memories can be improved or lost over time through processes like encoding, storage, retrieval, and forgetting. Key areas covered include levels of processing, working memory components, explicit and implicit memory systems, interference theory of forgetting, and techniques for improving memory recall.
This document provides 15 tips for improving memory and exercising the brain: 1) Believe in your ability to improve your memory, 2) Keep your brain active by learning new skills, 3) Exercise daily to improve brain circulation and focus, 4) Reduce stress which can negatively impact memory, 5) Eat a healthy diet with brain-boosting foods, 6) Practice observational skills by remembering photo details, 7) Give yourself time to form memories without distractions, 8) Create vivid mental images to associate memories, 9) Repeat information to commit it to memory, 10) Group related items to remember lists easier, 11) Organize your life to free up mental energy, 12) Practice meditation to improve focus and memory, 13

Memory is the capacity to retain and retrieve information. There are three main types of memory - sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Memories can be implicit (unconscious) or explicit (conscious recollection). Factors like rehearsal, encoding, interference and state-dependence affect how and what we remember versus forget over time. Recovered memories from early childhood or recovered through suggestive techniques should be questioned due to concerns over accuracy.

This document summarizes key aspects of memory processes, including encoding, storage, and retrieval of information. It discusses:
1) Encoding can occur visually, acoustically, or semantically. Short-term memory relies primarily on acoustic encoding while long-term memory relies more on semantic encoding.
2) Information is transferred from short-term to long-term memory through rehearsal, organization, the use of mnemonic devices, and distributed practice. Consolidation during sleep also aids long-term storage.
3) Retrieval involves accessing information from both short-term and long-term memory. Factors like interference and context affect the accuracy of memory retrieval and reconstruction.
There are a wide variety of factors that can influence andor cr.docxrorye
There are a wide variety of factors that can influence and/or create distortions of memory. In ‘Individual Differences in Susceptibility to False Memory in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott Paradigm’, Watson et al. (2005) note that false memories specific to the DRM paradigm may result from a failure in attention control that help to differentiate the given words from associated but non-presented words. For example, when given a list of related words to recall, participants often recalled related words that were not part of the original list, resulted in false recall (Watson et al., 2005). This could be alleviated through warnings given regarding the likelihood of false recall; this can aid during the encoding stage as the participants focus more aptly on the specific words given to avoid false recall (Watson et al., 2005).
The salience effect is another influence on a person’s memory. This refers to the degree to which memory is affected by a person’s individual processing that results in particular stimuli becoming more obvious -or salient- than other stimuli (Fine & Minnery, 2009). This goes back to attention again; the more likely an individual is to pay close attention to an object (consciously or unconsciously through bottom-up processing), in this case due to its saliency rather than prior warning, the better memory performance they are likely to have (Fine & Minnery, 2009).
Another factor that may influence memory is age. Rhodes et al. (2021) conducted experiments to determine whether age played a role in the effectiveness of working memory, and if so, at what stage. The determination was that even when the tasks were altered to reflect the individuals abilities, there was a drop in recall abilities in the older adults versus the younger adults (Rhodes et al., 2021). They suggest that further research could indicate that it is the disruption of the “active maintenance in working memory” which requires deeper search and retrieval from secondary memory (Rhodes et al., 2021, p. 210).
Trauma can also affect a person’s memory, however, the exact manner in which this can happen is still debated. ‘Traumatic amnesia’ or ‘dissociated memory’ refers to the concept of an individual having supressed or forgotten traumatic memories (often of abuse/sexual abuse) only to recover them later in life (Loftus & Davis, 2006). This is widely debated as to its verifiability due to studies not being able to meet the full three criteria of verifying whether a) abuse did actually happen, b) this memory was actually forgotten and unreachable for some time and c) this memory was later retrieved (Loftus & Davis, 2006).
Loftus and Davis (2006) also go on to discuss the plasticity of autobiographical memory and the research that has been conducted in this field. The power of suggestion – telling individuals that a (false) event occurred and assuring them they have details from family members has led to instances of false autobiographical memory, later ‘recalled’ wh.
This document provides an overview of research on how emotion influences memory. It discusses four claims about the relationship between emotion and memory: 1) Emotional memories are indelible, 2) Emotion has no special effect on memory, 3) Emotion enhances memory for congruent information, and 4) Emotion enhances memory for central details. While early research supported the first claim, more recent studies show emotional memories can be inaccurate and influenced by current appraisals. Evidence now supports that emotion specifically enhances memory through activation of the amygdala in response to emotional events. However, most research has treated emotion as a single construct of arousal rather than considering discrete emotions which may differentially impact memory.

Many people still think of homeless transients as alcoholic and/or mentally disabled loners. The truth is, the current homeless population consists of single adults, families, battered women and runaway adolescents. Their only characteristic in common is the lack of a fixed, adequate and permanent residence. Social and economic factors and other circumstances beyond the individual's control have led to a gradual increase in family homelessness (Rafferty, 1990).
During a conference, members of the National Association of State Coordinators for the Education of Children and Youth cited eight basic causes of homelessness: 1) lack of affordable housing, 2) unemployment, 3) deinstitutionalization, 4) divorce/abandonment, 5) substance abuse, 6) natural catastrophe, 7) physical abuse and 8) eviction (Johnson & Wand, 1991). Whatever the causes may be, the result is an increasing population of homeless families with children (Stronge & Tenhouse, 1990).
As the homeless problem receives more attention, the profile of a homeless individual or family has changed (D'Andrea, 1992). We have learned that: 1) all types of people can find themselves homeless; 2) families are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population; 3) homelessness has both societal and personal causes; 4) shelters are an emergency response to homelessness, not a solution; and 5) homeless people live in a variety of settings (Johnson & Wand, 1991).
Children and adolescents appear to suffer the most detrimental effects of homelessness (Heflin, 1991). The estimated number of homeless youths in the United States may be anywhere from 310,000 to 1.6 million (Heflin & Rudy, 1991). By the time a family becomes homeless, the effects of poverty, removal from a familiar environment, malnourishment and unhealthy living conditions have already begun to take their tell (Gewirtzman & Fodor, 1987).
Homeless families experience the disintegration of physical, spiritual, mental and emotional bonds. Parents must often decide between life on the streets as an intact family unit or separation into various shelters. Shelter personnel assume the responsibility for determining bedtimes, mealtimes, menus and other elements of daily routines, consequently undermining parents' roles (Heflin & Rudy, 1991).

The document discusses several key questions regarding alien abduction experiences (AAEs): Do abductees genuinely believe their claims? Is there evidence that supports actual abductions? What psychological factors could otherwise explain such experiences? While some abductees appear sincere, there is little hard evidence of real alien encounters. Alternative explanations explored include false memory syndrome, sleep paralysis combined with hallucinations, and the unreliability of hypnosis in retrieving memories. More research is needed to understand what may underlie reported AAEs.

However, most research has treated emotion as a single construct of arousal rather than considering discrete emotions which may differentially impact memory.

Many people still think of homeless transients as alcoholic and/or mentally disabled loners. The truth is, the current homeless population consists of single adults, families, battered women and runaway adolescents. Their only characteristic in common is the lack of a fixed, adequate and permanent residence. Social and economic factors and other circumstances beyond the individual's control have led to a gradual increase in family homelessness (Rafferty, 1990).
During a conference, members of the National Association of State Coordinators for the Education of Children and Youth cited eight basic causes of homelessness: 1) lack of affordable housing, 2) unemployment, 3) deinstitutionalization, 4) divorce/abandonment, 5) substance abuse, 6) natural catastrophe, 7) physical abuse and 8) eviction (Johnson & Wand, 1991). Whatever the causes may be, the result is an increasing population of homeless families with children (Stronge & Tenhouse, 1990).
As the homeless problem receives more attention, the profile of a homeless individual or family has changed (D'Andrea, 1992). We have learned that: 1) all types of people can find themselves homeless; 2) families are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population; 3) homelessness has both societal and personal causes; 4) shelters are an emergency response to homelessness, not a solution; and 5) homeless people live in a variety of settings (Johnson & Wand, 1991).
Children and adolescents appear to suffer the most detrimental effects of homelessness (Heflin, 1991). The estimated number of homeless youths in the United States may be anywhere from 310,000 to 1.6 million (Heflin & Rudy, 1991). By the time a family becomes homeless, the effects of poverty, removal from a familiar environment, malnourishment and unhealthy living conditions have already begun to take their tell (Gewirtzman & Fodor, 1987).
Homeless families experience the disintegration of physical, spiritual, mental and emotional bonds. Parents must often decide between life on the streets as an intact family unit or separation into various shelters. Shelter personnel assume the responsibility for determining bedtimes, mealtimes, menus and other elements of daily routines, consequently undermining parents' roles (Heflin & Rudy, 1991).

The document discusses several key questions regarding alien abduction experiences (AAEs): Do abductees genuinely believe their claims? Is there evidence that supports actual abductions? What psychological factors could otherwise explain such experiences? While some abductees appear sincere, there is little hard evidence of real alien encounters. Alternative explanations explored include false memory syndrome, sleep paralysis combined with hallucinations, and the unreliability of hypnosis in retrieving memories. More research is needed to understand what may underlie reported AAEs.

This dissertation examines factors that enable chronic homelessness among single males at a shelter in Wilmington, Delaware. The author conducted a qualitative study using various data collection methods, including intake forms, surveys, observations, interviews, and organizational records from 2002-2005. The study found that chronic homelessness is likely the result of individual characteristics intersecting with social, economic, and structural factors. These may include issues like substance abuse, mental illness, unemployment, incarceration, and lack of affordable housing. While external conditions are important, some shelter users also reported making a rational choice to remain homeless. The author aims to understand this complex issue and identify ways to reduce chronic homelessness.
Acculturation And Mental Health In Latino Communitysmallmandy
The document discusses acculturation and mental health issues among Latinos in the United States. As the Latino population grows, acculturation stress can lead to increased rates of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and poorer academic performance. However, strong ethnic identity, social support from family and peers, exposure to Latino culture, and intercultural competence can help mitigate mental distress associated with acculturation. Research on acculturation and mental health among Latinos faces challenges but indicates that with the right supports, negative impacts of acculturation do not have to include poor mental health outcomes.

The life stage generation focuses on the timing of life changes and the actions of the early events of family and historical solutions (Harvey 1978, 1987) according to development transactions made on past experiences. The length with spacing, and timing of pass events (Alder 1975) including the rites of passage that are taught among the developing of early adolescent. Vence, the life stage reflection accounts for adolescent rites of passage based on terms of past experiences, family impacts on individual processes, and current environmental (social and political) factors. The life span orientation focuses on the individual from conception to death (Featherman 1983), whereby development and rites of passage are thought to be related to both biological and cultural processes through sequences of stages over time. Of particular interest in the area of biological processes is the research on adolescent brain development. Changes in the frontal lobes during this life stage are thought to influence such aspects as self-control, motivation, and emotion (Dahl 2004). In turn, these physical development progressions affect decision-making abilities and other cognitive tasks (Zarrett and Eccles 2006).

This document analyzes the biological, cognitive, and sociocultural etiologies of social anxiety disorder and depression. For social anxiety disorder, biological factors include an oversensitive amygdala and genetic predispositions, while cognitive factors involve negative core beliefs developed from social experiences. Sociocultural influences include parenting styles and societal emphasis on competition. For depression, biological theories point to genetic and neurotransmitter imbalances, while cognitive theories cite irrational thinking patterns. Sociocultural risk factors include life stressors and varying conceptions of depression across cultures. Both disorders vary in prevalence by gender and culture.
1) The study examined memory distortion in people who reported recovered memories of alien abduction, an unlikely traumatic event.
2) Using a variant of the Deese/Roediger-McDermott paradigm, the study found that those reporting recovered and repressed memories of alien abduction were more prone to false recall and recognition than a control group who denied abduction.
3) Hypnotic suggestibility, depressive symptoms, and schizotypic features were significant predictors of false recall and false recognition.

The I1 Imidazoline Receptor In Pc12 Pheochromocytoma CellsDMFishman
This study investigated signal transduction pathways activated by stimulation of I1-imidazoline receptors in PC12 cells. The study found that stimulation of these receptors with moxonidine:
1) Increased the activity of PKC beta II and redistributed the atypical PKC zeta isoform into cell membranes. It did not affect the novel PKC theta isoform.
2) Increased the proportion of active, phosphorylated forms of ERK-1 and ERK-2, as well as increasing JNK enzymatic activity.
3) The effects of moxonidine on ERK activation were blocked by an I1 receptor antagonist and a PC-PLC inhibitor, suggesting PC-PLC mediates I
The document discusses the history and conceptual development of the unconscious. It describes how the concept originated in ancient times and was explored by philosophers like Augustine, Descartes, and Leibniz. It evolved from being seen as a hidden intellect to a mechanical information processing system without true intellect. During the Romantic period, artists emphasized emotions and the individual unconscious mind as a vast realm more capable than consciousness.
The document discusses three major discoveries in psychology:
1. The realization that the brain, not the heart, is the seat of consciousness. Ancient Egyptians believed the heart housed consciousness, but by 1550 BCE some texts acknowledged a role for the brain. It took until the Greeks for this view to be more widely accepted.
2. The development of introspection as a tool for exploring the contents of consciousness. Wilhelm Wundt established the first psychology laboratory in 1879, pioneering the experimental study of the mind through introspection.
3. The emergence of behaviorism as a dominant force in psychology in the early 20th century. John Watson argued psychology should focus on observable behavior rather than internal mental states. Behavior
Conceptualizations Of Major Depressive Disorder (Melancholia) Throughout HistoryDMFishman
This document provides a historical overview of conceptualizations of major depressive disorder (MDD) from ancient times to the present. It describes accounts of depression-like symptoms in ancient Egyptian and biblical texts from around 1500 BCE. It then discusses conceptualizations from Classical Greece, including Hippocrates' description of "melancholia" and accounts of Marcus Tullius Cicero exhibiting MDD symptoms. The document outlines a shift during the Middle Ages in Western Europe towards supernatural explanations for mental illness, while the Byzantine and Islamic worlds preserved classical understandings. It traces evolving understandings over time.
THE EFFECTS OF OPIOID AND BENZODIAZEPINE WEANING ON COGNITIVE ABILITY IN THE ...DMFishman
The study presented here has several important, take-home messages. First, based on the results of this study, withdrawal from opioid and/or benzodiazepine therapy does not result in a measurable change in neurocognitive functioning measured by DS or DSST. Second, a relationship of Pain Intensity to level of functionality has been shown. This is well known, and its finding here reinforces the validity of the methods used herein. Third, there is confirmation that mood greatly effects functioning both physically – as indicated by the BDI/PDI relationship alluded to by the correlational analyses, and psychologically – as borne out by the Δ BDI/ Δ DSST relationship found in both the correlational and hierarchical linear regression analyses. Again, the relationship of mood to functionality, like that of pain intensity to functionality, is well established and its presence in these results reinforces the validity of the methods used. Fourth, changes in mood were found to be the most significant predictor of changes in DSST Scaled score. Fifth, Interdisciplinary treatment of chronic pain provides measurable benefit to all individuals regardless of pre-treatment medication status.
The document discusses treatment strategies for cocaine abuse. It covers the epidemiology of cocaine use and patterns of use such as bingeing. It also discusses clinical manifestations of cocaine intoxication and multiple drug use. The treatment section covers psychotherapy approaches, pharmacotherapies that have been found ineffective such as antidepressants, and potential pharmacotherapies including disulfiram, modafinil, topiramate, and baclofen. Alternative treatments discussed include acupuncture and herbal remedies.
Comparison Of Drug Tx & Psycotherapy in the treatment of DepressionDMFishman

It then discusses the epidemiology and clinical course of depression before comparing different treatment approaches. Pharmacotherapies discussed include SSRIs, TCAs, and MAOIs. Psychotherapies discussed include cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy.

The Recovered Memory Debate
1. The Recovered Memory Debate<br />Daniel Fishman<br />Fielding Graduate University<br />The Recovered Memory Debate<br />Beginning in the 1980s a marked increase in the incidence of recovered repressed memories was observed. Many of these recovered memories were of an exceptionally traumatic nature such as child sexual abuse (CSA). Many, but not all, of the individuals who experienced this phenomenon were also afflicted with debilitating psychological disturbances. Similarly, many of these cases of recovered memories occurred within a psychotherapeutic context. . In all of these instances, however, the recovery of the memories resulted in significant events in the lives of those who recovered them and those around them ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {quot;

The complete scope of this debate, its various perspectives, advocates, and supporting studies is vast and far too large to be fully explored by this paper. Therefore, this paper will briefly outline the various perspectives in this debate in an effort to provide a shallow but broad perspective.<br />Sample Cases of Recovered Memory<br />Reports of memories lost to awareness and subsequently recovered into consciousness can be found as early as the work of Pierre Janet in the 1800s (Tallis, 2002). These memories are often reported as linked, either through their repression or recovery, to certain psychopathologies. For example, Janet describes the case of Lucie a 19-year-old woman who suffered from an apparent hysterical paralysis of her arm. Additionally, she was wracked by fits of extreme terror and anxiety. Importantly, when asked to explain her behavior she was unable. Based on prior experience, Janet hypothesized that Lucie’s condition may be the result of an inaccessible memory. In an attempt to access this memory, Janet employed a technique known as automatic writing. A confederate would sit across from Lucie and carry on a conversation. During this conversation Janet placed the pencil in Lucy's anesthetic hand and whispered questions into her ear. According to Janet's report, in this manner Lucie was able to relate in writing the disturbing memory that she was not able to consciously access or articulate verbally. Remarkably, a similar phenomenon wherein a portion of a patient’s mind could be engaged in a constructive activity without the patient being fully aware was later observed in split brain patients, individuals who for various reasons had their corpus collosum severed. Moreover, often in these patients the two halves of the individuals brain could possess entirely different and sometimes conflicting wants, needs and desires (Tallis, 2002).<br /> The memory Janet recovered involved Lucie at age 7 years and two men who had concealed themselves behind a curtain in order to frighten her as a practical joke. Janet contended that a portion of Lucie's psyche dissociated itself from the main body of her psyche and remained fixed at this point in her life. Lucie’s psychogenic paralysis and fits of anxiety were reenactments of this terror. Janet further claims that by employing methods of hypnosis and suggestion he was able to alter this memory and reintegrate Lucie's fractured personality, thereby alleviating her symptoms (Tallis, 2002).<br />Lucie's case as presented by Janet is remarkable for the extreme hysterical nature of the symptoms; however, such symptomatology was relatively common for Janet's time. Not all cases involving repressed and later recovered memories present in such an alarming fashion. For example, Colangelo (2009) describes the case of Daniela who recovered memories of CSA prior to and within therapy: memories for which she subsequently secured corroboration from two independent sources.<br />Daniela, a 23-year-old single Caucasian Italian-American Roman Catholic female, presented for treatment with a long-standing history of bulimia, anxiety, panic disorder and alcohol abuse. Her proximate cause for seeking help was the increasing occurrence of flashbacks that she characterized as intrusive, involuntary thoughts and images of sexual abuse. Daniela stated that the symptoms began not long after her maternal grandfather came to live in her home. She also added that her anxiety and panic disorder had worsened within the same timeframe. As time progressed, Daniela's memories became increasingly definitive, detailed and explicit. She eventually confronted her estranged maternal aunt who confirmed that Daniela had been abused by her maternal grandfather and that, moreover, he had also abused Daniela's aunt and mother. Importantly, this case describes a patient who began to recover her memory spontaneously as opposed to exclusively within a psychotherapy environment.<br />Mechanisms of Forgetting: Repression, Dissociation, Suppression and Denial<br />Repression<br />Freud in the early part of the 20th century was the first to concisely articulate a theory of repression formed on the basis of warring psychic energies. Freud posited that the mind could in large part be divided into three psychic entities; id, ego, and superego. Of these three only the ego and superego achieved consciousness, with the ego’s function to mediate and regulate the warring factions of id (instinctual drive) and superego (internalized morality). He further proposed that certain ideas, when allowed to become conscious, engendered so much anxiety that the ego was forced to repress these thoughts into the subconscious. Significantly, such repression occurred without conscious awareness or participation of the individual. Freud further suggested that the psychic energy bound up in these repressed thoughts must find expression somewhere and thus resulted in pathology. Additionally, Freud himself acknowledged that recovered repressed memories may contain truthful as well as false elements ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {quot;

For example, in the case of CSA the argument is made that conflict faced by the individual often results from the individual’s dependence on the offender for the basic necessities of life. In this construct the memory of the trauma is repressed because the individual cannot lash out at their primary caretaker but can also not live with the knowledge of betrayal ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {quot;

It should be noted that some experts debate if this is truly distinct from repression or simply an extreme occurrence of it ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {quot;

Therefore, this too seems an unlikely method for losing memories.<br />Evidence Supporting Repression and Recovery of Memories<br />The cases themselves, especially those with external verification, are the primary evidence cited by those who support the veracity of this phenomenon. Colangelo (2009) points to “The Recovered Memory Archive” compiled by Ross Cheit of Brown University that claims to include 70 verified cases of recovered memory. Recently, however, new evidence has been presented that simultaneously validates and calls into question cases of recovered memory.<br />Over the last five years or so Geraerts and colleagues have presented evidence indicating that individuals with recovered memories can be divided into two categories; those who spontaneously recovered their memories (as Daniela did above) and those whose memories are recovered exclusively as a result of psychotherapy. In a 2007 study, Geraerts et al. et al. examined the likelihood that memories of abuse were corroborated across three cohorts: 1) individuals with continuous memories of abuse, 2) individuals with discontinuous memories of abuse but spontaneous recovery of those memories outside of therapy, and 3) individuals with discontinuous memories of abuse and recovery explicitly within therapy. Geraerts et al. discovered that cohorts 1 and 2 had equal probabilities of obtaining corroborating evidence for their stories of abuse whereas cohort 3 had a markedly lower probability of obtaining corroboration. Further evidence that suggestion during therapy may have mediated this observed difference arose from the additional finding that individuals who recalled their memories outside of therapy were significantly more surprised at the existence of their memories than those who initially recalled their memories within therapy. Geraerts et al. infer that these results may represent two distinct populations: one comprised of individuals with real trauma and one comprised of individuals with trauma secondary to false memories due to suggestive practices employed in therapy.<br />Geraerts et al. continued to examine these populations in subsequent studies that have yielded fascinating results. A series of studies have demonstrated that individuals who reported spontaneously recovered memories of CSA outside of therapy were more adept at suppressing positive as well as anxious autobiographical thoughts relative to individuals reporting CSA memories recovered while in therapy, individuals with continuous memories of CSA, and controls with no history of CSA ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {quot;

Additionally, a more recent study found that people who recovered memories of CSA while in therapy displayed a heightened susceptibility to the construction of false memories as well as a tendency to underestimate their prior remembering. Beyond being susceptible to false memory creation, this cohort was more likely to accept that they had forgotten memories. This same study found that individuals who spontaneously recovered memories of CSA demonstrated an elevated tendency to forget prior incidences of remembering but did not display an increased susceptibility to the creation of false memories. Taken collectively, these studies represent a potential turning point or middle ground in this debate, the full character of which will be easier to appreciate after a discussion of the opposing side.<br />Sample Cases of False Memory<br />Similar to cases of repressed memories, one of the earliest reported cases of false memories can be found in the 1800s. H. Bernheim reported in 1889 the creation of a false and remarkably traumatic memory. Although this experiment could and should never be repeated as it falls far short of current ethical standards, Bernheim was not bound by these standards. The case he describes presents a vivid depiction of how traumatic and damaging a false memory can be.<br />In August of 1889 Bernheim was treating a somnambulist, Marie G. He describes placing the suggestion in her mind that upon entering her home she heard screams coming from a room. She peered through the keyhole only to witness the old man of the house committing rape on one of the little girls. Bernheim goes on to state quot;
you saw it. The little girl was struggling, she was bleeding, and he gagged her. You saw it all, and were so distressed that you went to your apartment and did not dare to say anything. When you wake up you will think no more about it. I have not told the story to you; it is not a dream; it is not a vision I have given you during your hypnotic sleep; it is truth itself.quot;

Bernheim reports that Marie related the entire incident to the lawyer as if it were fact along with numerous embellishments, such as the names of the criminal and victim. He goes on to state that Marie knew the severity of her statements and offered to testify if needed. Bernheim reported that he tried to convince Marie to doubt herself but that her conviction was immovable. As we can see from this case, false memories, even severely traumatic ones, can take hold within the mind resulting in significant distress and consequences.<br />Cases of false memory similar to Marie are not limited to the 1800s, in fact if one examines the large number of cases of recovered repressed memories from the 1980s and 90s the majority have been found to be based on false memories ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {quot;

Moreover, as we will see shortly, the last 30 years have produced a plethora of research into the malleability and inherent biases of memory.<br />Mechanisms of and Support for Memory Distortions and False Memories<br />Until recently memory was thought to be analogous to a file and drawer system; however, recent work has demonstrated the reality is far more complex. There is no one location present inside our brain where memory is stored. Instead, portions of a memory are stored within various association cortices and are only reintegrated upon memory recall. Thus, memory recall is not simply a retrieval process but a constructive process, each time a memory is recalled aspects of it are rebuilt from constituent parts ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {quot;

When such alterations introduce inconsistencies or inaccuracies into memory this is known as the misinformation effect.<br />There are many specific types of misinformation effects broadly speaking, however, they involve pre or post event suggestions that alter the memory of an event. The misinformation effect has been demonstrated repeatedly in experimental conditions ranging from simple memories of word lists to autobiographical and even traumatic memories ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {quot;

Taken together these studies clearly demonstrate the fluidity and fallibility of memory. Unfortunately, although recent work with functional neuroimaging suggests the differentiation between true and false memories may be possible, it does not appear that individuals necessarily possess this capacity. Therefore, false memories and memory distortions once created are capable of inflicting incredible harm.<br />Concluding Remarks<br />In considering the above discussion several points become clear. Based on individual corroborated victim accounts it appears that people are able to remove trauma from consciousness only to later recall it. Importantly, this conclusion is based solely on the subjective report of what appears to be a relatively small number of corroborated cases. Additionally, it is impossible to objectively assess whether or not these individuals’ memories were ever truly removed from their consciousness and placed beyond their reach. These statements are in no way meant to diminish or discount the horrific trauma these individuals have lived through. It is simply meant to highlight what appears to be a rare psychological phenomenon, as studies have demonstrated that more often than not trauma increases the likelihood of remembering ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {quot;

It is also clear that human memory is highly malleable and subject to multiple misinformation effects, biases, and - in instances not as infrequent as one may think - implantation of entirely false memories. Given that these distortions and false memories can inflict as much as, or more harm than, factual events we must take extreme care not to inflict harm on our patients in our efforts to help them. To that end the data offered by Geraerts et al. may offer guidance.
