Title: What's in it for you?
Product review: This is anything but an even-handed approach to the issue of trauma, particularly in the case of repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse. The principle reason I have given it more than one star is the fact that while the author ignores one side of the debate (except for the purposes of setting up a what Logic 101 would term a "straw man") he does quite well in covering the bases (and more) on his own side. Were one to this book in conjunction with another, the arguments of which were equally biased yet well stated, one might have a decent basis on which to form an opinion. A good example of a similar pairing might be to read Lenore Terr's "Unchained Memories: True Stories of Traumatic Memories, Lost and Found" along with Elizabeth Loftus' "The Myth of Repressed Memory." Neither are quite as unbalanced as this particular work but perhaps this may lend them more credibility.
