A psychological phenomenon in which an individual experiences an episode of some of the subjective effects of LSD (this may be a positive or negative experience) long after the drug has been consumed and worn off -- sometimes weeks or months afterward.
Some say flashbacks are a manifestation of post-traumatic stress disorder, not directly related to LSD's mechanism, and varying according to the susceptibility of the individual to the disorder.
Several urban legends claim that flashbacks are the result of trace amounts of LSD or related chemicals being dislodged and released into the body after having been crystallized and stored in fat or spinal fluid cells.

 Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 95046232   (Site not responding. Last check: )
According to many clinical psychologists, when the mind is forced to endure a horrifying experience, it has the ability to bury the entire memory of it so deeply within the unconscious that it can only be recalled in the form of a flashback triggered by a sight, a smell, or a sound.
This book reveals that despite decades of research, there is absolutely no controlled scientific support for the idea that memories of trauma are routinely banished into the unconscious and then reliably recovered years later.
Since it is not actually a legitimate psychological phenomenon, the idea of "recovered memory"—and the movement that has developed alongside it—is thus closer to a dangerous fad or trendy witch hunt.

Judging by this, and by the quotation in the first paragraph, Fellini feels that his pre-pubescent experience with women had a lasting impact on his perception, solidifying a fantasy image in his subconscious that he would carry with him into adult life.
It is not exactly clear, however, as it can never be clear with any psychological phenomenon, the exact experiences that led Fellini, as a pre-pubescent, to solidify an image of woman as large and voluptuous.
In 8 1/2, for instance, the first of a series of meta-cinematic films wherein the life of the protagonist resembles closely the life of Fellini himself, the flashback to La Saraghina and her "abandoned pillbox on the beach" serves to explain Guido's (and possibly Fellini's) adult perception of women.

 A Personal Testimony
It wasn't until several months after having left the movement permanently that I first came across critical material about the "Local Churches." It was in the form of a set of essays written by Jim Moran and first published on the Internet the summer of my departure from the movement, 1995.
Perhaps, globally speaking, the worst effect that cults have had on the Christian community has not been the proliferation of alternate "truths," nor the psychological damage done to individuals, nor even the loss of credibility of the church in the eyes of the secular world.
Instead, I believe the worst effect has been that the church itself has learned the very art of hatred that it condemns within the cults, that we are participating in the escalating cult versus counter-cult struggle that threatens to stifle any chance of bringing God's grace and healing power to bear on our differences.

The notion that hypnosis is the same as suggestibility and invariably results in a condition of hypersuggestibility was popularized by Clark Hull (1933).
Sheehan and Perry (1976) point out that although historically suggestibility theory provided a means whereby hypnosis could be studied as a primarily psychological phenomenon.
Acknowledging that it isn't proper to extrapolate from one context to another, from therapy to investigation, Orne (1979), nevertheless, transposes the therapy-linked issues of confabulation, hallucinating about the future, decrease in critical judgment, and memory difficulty into the investigative hypnosis realm without supportive data.
