Presenting the Past - Psychoanalysis and the Sociology of Misremembering

Summary

At the core of this book is the case of an analysis patient who began to recall childhood sexual abuse. Later, she came to believe that the trauma she remembered might have been an emotional violation. Prager explores the nature of memory and its relation to the interpersonal, therapeutic, and cultural worlds in which remembering occurs.
