RE: Recovered Memories

["Peter Dale" <pdale@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kym,

You might like to take a look at my book "Adults Abused as Children:
Experiences of Counselling & Psychotherapy" 1999, SAGE publications. It has
a specific part on the recovered memory controversy and its implications for
counselling practice. It urges considerable caution in this area!

Regards,

Peter Dale

Hello all,
	I've been asked to provide a lecture to sexual assault counsellors
re recovered/repressed memories and am interested in any recent scientific
papers or well-researched case-histories. My approach basically is that
this area therapeutically needs to be treated with extreme caution and the
risk is great that more harm than good  can be done in granting
non-critical credability to such 'memories'.

Regards,

Kym.
