Divided Memories Part 1
Share
Today, a raging debate over the validity of repressed memory about sexual abuse divides the therapeutic community, the women’s movement, and thousands of accusers and accused. In ‘Divided Memories,’ producer Ofra Bikel examines the complicated issue of repressed memory, looking at what we know about memory and the way it works. Tracing the repression debate back to Sigmund Freud, Part 1 examines the different kinds of therapies used to help patients remember, including age-regression therapy, past-life therapy, and hypnosis.
