Repressed memory syndrome, undressed

Pope has made a significant entry into the rational interpretation of the "unconsious" mechanism of hidden or repressed memory. As a behaviorist I found myself agreeing with his hypotheses and conclusions and discovered some clarity in my own thinking at the same time. I find his writing style to be clear, clever, and concise. I have chosen to place this book on my desk for all to see.

wonderful. informative and a quick read

ideal for intro psychology students and also just to look at methodology of many studies we take for granted. focus on repressed memories is interesting considering it is such a hot topic, though you do not necessarliy need to be reading for this subject to apprecaite and enjoy this book
