Contains papers from a 1995 conference held in New York City, in which leading clinicians discuss the repressed memory controversy free of the accusatory tone that has often dominated the literature on the subject. They overview neurological research on the encoding of memory, offer a feminist critique of the current debate, and explore the social taboos that still hamper objective discussion of child abuse. Other topics include reality testing in countertransference, reconstruction in the psychoanalytic tradition, and interpersonal psychoanalytical approaches to the sexually abused.
