EDITORIAL - Archiving Dissociation as a Precaution Against Dissociating Dissociation Judith Herman (1992) famously observed, “The knowledge of horrible events periodically intrudes into public awareness but is rarely retained for long. Denial, repression, and dissociation operate on a social as well as an individual level” (p. 2)....Herman (1992) goes on to note: “Like traumatized people, we have been cut off from the knowledge of our past. Like traumatized people, we need to understand the past in order to reclaim the present and the future. Therefore, an understanding of psychological trauma begins with rediscovering history” (p. 2). We are at risk of forgetting the hard work and lessons learned by our predecessors.

Pope ABSTRACT: Careful assessment of purported scientific discoveries and the resulting interpretations is a responsibility of every scientist. The area of memory, particularly memory for abuse, has recently seen new, highly publicized claims. These include the proposal of a new diagnostic category, the false memory syndrome; claims about the ease with which extensive autobiographical memories can be implanted; and estimates of the extent therapists use risky practices likely to cause false memory syndrome. This article suggests questions to evaluate these claims and the methods used to promote them. Implications for clinical standards and malpractice are discussed....Memory, Abuse, & Science: Questioning Claims about the False Memory Syndrome Epidemic--is the award address for the American Psychological Association's Award for Distinguished Contributions to Public Service.
