emory's review
I did not know that the concept of repression itself was so contentious; I had assumed only hypnosis-based recovered memories were what was under fire at the time. The examination of this method of psychological understanding was very concise and thought-provoking.
The writing was at once intelligent and easy to follow. The amount of care and research put into creating this account are very apparent.
On a very personal note, even if most of these accounts of abuse appear to have been entirely fabricated false memories or wholesale lies originating from a comedy of investigative errors, quite a few of them did leave me shaken and disgusted. At a certain point I had to start skimming or skipping them entirely, as they contained a level of detail I couldn't stomach. Adds to the completelt bizarre feeling that this whole event is steeped in.

While the book is deconstructing these accounts of abuse as false memories or fantastical stories, they are still deeply upsetting to imagine, and quite a few are presented in their entirety. Very difficult to read.martynabrzana's review against another edition
