Repressed Memories

I personally wanted to find out more about the topic of repressed memory when we discussed the topic in class. I wanted to know generally more about it. I found this website that tells what a repressed memory is also, the history of where it really started to be studied and the debate over the topic as well. It's a pretty easy website to follow and read.

I found this article that I thought was pretty good. It explains repressed memory or as the clinical term dissociative amnesia. This article explains the controversy over the topic and how it is used in court cases especially in child abuse cases where the child remembers years later. This article is from the Harvard Magazine by one of the writers there. It was pretty interesting. It also discusses what some researchers have found on the topic as well.
