The Neuromantics
Season 1
Episode 7
In the 90s, the psychology community was tying itself in knots over whether forgotten traumas could or should be recovered through therapy. In this episode of the Neuromantics, writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott revisit the so-called memory wars, and discuss the controversial issue of repressed memory (now rebranded as dissociative amnesia). If the brain has gone to all the trouble of suppressing trauma, is it beneficial to retrieve these past experiences? Can they be used reliably in criminal trials? And what has all this got to do with axolotls?
