'The Trauma Society', Sally Satel's long, long
review of Richard McNally in the New Republic repays reading: 'This
correction has been a long time coming, because the notions that we bury
memories of intolerable events, that those memories are accurate when unearthed,
and that they hold the key to understanding our current distress, are axioms of
the Freudian legacy that is inscribed on our culture..

J Peder Zane reviews
Rabinowitz in
the News and Observer:
'She also suggests that the police and
prosecutors are less interested in justice than in winning their cases. When
their questionable tactics and evidence were revealed, the authorities
instinctively circled the wagons, fighting every effort to free people they had
wrongly convicted.'

Jane Feinmann in the Observer (UK) on
Richard McNally: 'Have you repressed the memory of a traumatic experience from
childhood? Is it now a leaking toxin, exerting a malevolent influence on you
from your deep unconscious . . ? '
