Top 10 books I read in 2023:
#2 The Myth of Repressed Memory (E. Loftus & K. Ketcham 1994). The repressed memory debacle of the 1980s (modern-day witch trials) is unfamiliar to most clinicians today. This book was a public service to discredit the concept. Mind-boggling cases.
Top 10 books I read in 2023: #1 Remembering Trauma (Richard McNally 2003). Long before I debunked vdKolk’s claims about trauma damaging brains, McNally eviscerated vdKolk’s assertions about traumatic amnesia & trauma memory. VdKolk never responded to the gutting by McNally.
