商品簡介
The 12 articles and comments explore the relationship between trauma and memory, emphasizing the role of memory mechanisms in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is widely accepted that memory is severely altered by traumatic events, but one question addressed here is whether memory deficits may also contribute to the development of stress-related disorders. The topics include intrusive memories and modality-specific mental imagery in PTSD; searching for the anatomy of dissociative amnesia; episodic recognition memory, hippocampal volume and PTSD syndrome severity in a pilot neuroimaging study of civilian trauma survivors; and understanding and treating unwanted trauma memories in PTSD.
