It provides a history and context that documents key events that have had an effect on the way that modern psychology and psychotherapy have developed. Chapters provide an overview of how human memory functions and works and examine facets of the misguided theories behind repressed memory. The book also examines the science of the brain, the reconstructive nature of human memory, and studies of suggestibility. It traces the present-day resurgence of a belief in repressed memories in the general public as well as among many clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, “body workers,” and others who offer counseling. It concludes with legal and professional recommendations and advice for individuals who deal with or have dealt with the psychotherapeutic practice of repressed memory therapy. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTopics featured in this text include: \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe modern diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) (once called MPD)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe “Satanic Panic” of the 1980s and its relation to repressed memory therapy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe McMartin Preschool Case and the “Day Care Sex Panic.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA historical overview from the Great Witch Craze to Sigmund Freud’s theories, spanning the 16\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e to 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e An exploration of the cultural context that produced the repressed memory epidemic of the 1990s.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe repressed memory movement as a religious sect or cult.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Repressed Memory Epidemic\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to researchers and clinicians as well as undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of psychology, sociology, cultural studies, religion, and anthropology. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-10-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319633749\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-63375-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 628\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47695676866700,"sku":"9783319633749","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319633749.jpg?v=1776776486","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319633749","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
