Comments on: Dissociative Amnesia and the Memory Wars https://cptsdfoundation.org/2021/06/28/dissociative-amnesia-and-the-memory-wars/ The Foundation for Post-Traumatic Healing and Complex Trauma Research Sat, 27 Dec 2025 09:25:14 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Eryn Flicker https://cptsdfoundation.org/2021/06/28/dissociative-amnesia-and-the-memory-wars/#comment-46864 Sat, 27 Dec 2025 09:25:14 +0000 https://cptsdfoundation.org/?p=237298#comment-46864 I’m so glad to read this post! Even with the now overwhelming evidence of dissociative disorders being real, disbelief around dissociation or belief that it is caused by therapists “implanting “false memory” is still so pervasive. So much so that Scientific American recently had to publish another piece on the problems with false memory: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/people-likely-arent-as-susceptible-to-false-memories-as-researchers-thought/

In fact, I was concerned to read a very recent post on the cPTSD Foundation blog (!) warning of “red flags” a therapist might create a “false memory narrative,” which was extremely outdated–its cited sources were 15-20 years old. It’s so frustrating how persistent “false memory” misinformation is!

I found your article very helpful especially the link to research. Keep up the great work! Shirley Davis
