In the 1990s, Pendergrast's book \u003cem\u003eVictims of Memory \u003c\/em\u003ehelped to debunk the repressed memory craze. Now, more than two decades later, he revisits the subject and proves that this form of \"therapy\" is still widespread, still destroying family relationships and causing false allegations of terrible crimes against innocent parents and caregivers. With meticulous research and captivating writing, Pendergrast brings coverage of this issue up to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndependent scholar \u003cb\u003eMark Pendergrast\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003emany critically acclaimed books of nonfiction, including \u003ci\u003eVictims of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCity on the Verge, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eUncommon Grounds\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis new book, \u003ci\u003eMemory Warp, \u003c\/i\u003erevisits the subject of repressed memories, a faddish pseudo-scientific form of therapy that ran rampant in the mid 1990s, destroying literally millions of families by creating false memories of childhood sexual abuse. Pendergrast's breakthrough book on the subject at the time, \u003ci\u003eVictims of Memory, \u003c\/i\u003e helped to expose the misguided nature of repressed-memory theories, and all major researchers on the nature of memory have agreed with his conclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMemory Warp\u003c\/i\u003e updates the issues covered by the earlier book, but it is not a new edition, as it thoroughly covers developments since that time. While it is partly fascinating social history of our recent past, documenting how this incredible juggernaut of pseudoscience came to be, it also shows how these misguided theories continue to fester today. Pendergrast warns that we may face another major outbreak if we do not learn from the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 27, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51772852437280,"sku":"9780942679410","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/8069f2017fd3a040f1645407e0f58e81.webp?v=1780415596","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/memory-warp-how-the-myth-of-repressed-memory-arose-and-refuses-to-die-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
