| Abstract: | Summary Various issues of central importance to the field of trauma were continually raised and debated at the 1998 Meeting on Trauma and Cognitive Science. These included the representation of traumatic events in memory, the psychological and biological theories available to explain amnesia for traumatic events, the role of therapeutic suggestion in recovered memory experiences, the ways in which memories are recovered and the context in which this occurs, and the implications of our current knowledge about trauma and memory for therapy. This article details these discussions and in some cases provides a more general context from the literature on psychological trauma. |
