Abducted - How People Come to Believe They Were Kidnapped By Aliens

Informationen zum Autor Susan A. Clancy is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Psychology at Harvard University and a Visiting Professor at INCAE, the Central American Institute for Business Administration. Klappentext Clancy argues that abductees are sane, intelligent people who have unwittingly created vivid false memories from a mélange of nightmares, culturally available texts, and a drive for meaning that science is unable to satisfy. This book is not only a subtle exploration of the workings of memory, but a sensitive inquiry into the nature of belief.
