I t...Debbie Ausburn, many thanks for your comment.<br /><br />I try to survey the literature on repressed and recovered memory periodically. The last time I did so there seemed to be a nearly-unanimous consensus among serious scholars that memories of isolated events might indeed perhaps be lost and then recovered but that this forgetting-and-recovering does not happen for multiple events or events that stretch out over long periods of time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081983465036974432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726083.post-61635919120718601712009-10-04T21:02:25.120-04:002009-10-04T21:02:25.120-04:00Thank you for your work on publicizing these cases...Thank you for your work on publicizing these cases.
