Bad Memories
Article Abstract:
Richard Ofshe and Ethan Waters have attempted to answer questions on the reality of memory in their book 'Making Monsters: False Memories, Psychotherapy, and Sexual Hysteria.' On the other hand, Ian Hacking's book, 'Rewriting the Soul: Multiple Personality and the Sciences of Memory,' did not answer the questions which were not thought to concern the readers of the book. Allan Young's book, 'The Harmony of Illusions: Inventing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder,' examines posttraumatic disorder and links treatment and diagnostic category to unique narrative methods.
