	Source amnesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Schater and Tulving identified via theoretical accounts that memory are differentiated for facts and for context.
		The neuropsychological implications as in brain maturation, deterioration in the normal aging course, and damage are conveyed.
		Source amnesia was first presented and examined in the hypnotic environment, and further understanding the human memory process is essential in unravelling this increasingly less mysterious condition.

	Memory distrust syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A person who suffers from memory distrust syndrome may distrust his or her own memory and be motivated to rely on external (non-self) sources.
		In a parallel situation, amnesic individuals may have a greater propensity to have their memory manipulated and perhaps perform non-advantageous acts on the "direction" of external sources and have difficulty in differentiating imaginary and real experiences.
		Since it is an identified and natural occurrence that source amnesia pathology exists in the criminal law system, psychiatrists should increasing perform assessment and identification measures to isolate such a disorder on accused individuals and eye-witnesses.

		Those include false memories in patients with "disorders" of some kind (schizophrenia, brain injury, aging, and genetic defects) and how these problems can be monitored or studied using psychological techniques, experiments, and neuroimaging.
		Memory [is] not only literally essential to the constitution of identity, but also crucial in the sense that it is constantly revising and editing the remembered past to square with the needs and requirements of the self we have become in any present.
		Ranging from cognitive, neurological, and pathological perspectives on memory and belief, to relations between conscious and nonconscious mental processes, to memory and belief in autobiographical narratives, this book will be uniquely stimulating to scholars in several academic disciplines.

	Hypatia --False Memory Syndrome
		In sum, the use of the phrase ''false memory syndrome'' accurately depicts three skeptical views: first, that false memories of childhood abuse are common; second, that false memories of childhood abuse have a typical etiology; and third, that it is possible to provide a profile of the character type most likely to manifest pseudomemories.
		This is the stereotype of the victim of false memory syndrome.
		To the extent that the client's memory fails to match the public record, on the one hand, the content of that memory is suspect; to the extent that her memory does match the public record, on the other hand, the status of her beliefs as memory is suspect.

		Edward Hyman of New Orleans, who believes the syndrome is an arterial infection passed through the air like tuberculosis, has been voted $1.2 million by Congress for research.15 Ross Perot is among those funding a Mayo Clinic project.
		Gulf War syndrome is shaping up to be a tragic standoff of men and women suffering from the all-too-real after-effects of war, doctors unable to combat the force of rumor and panic, and a government that feels the need to be supportive of veterans.
		The suffering of Gulf War syndrome is real by any measure, and the symptoms caused by war neurosis are just as painful and incapacitating as those caused by chemicals, parasites, or smoke.

	A REPLY TO THE FALSE MEMORY SYNDROME FOUNDATION
		From these simple experiments the FMSF falsely concludes: (a) that a person's memories are likely to be wrong about crucial events that had a serious impact on their lives and (b) that someone can falsely suggest that a major traumatic event happened to a person, who will then docilely produce detailed memories about it.
		To prove Ingram's memories were false Wright points out that Richard Ofshe (a member of the FMSF Advisory Board and a prosecution expert) told Ingram the lie that his son and daughter had accused him of forcing them to have sex together while he watched.
		Their almost universal reaction to first memories is "I can't believe it, I must be making it all up." When survivors do repudiate their memories (and some do), they almost always do so to escape the intense pain, not only of the memories, but of alienation from their families.

	ISRAELI FOREIGN POLICY AND THE JEWISH QUESTION
		This "gevalt syndrome," or "doomsday" mentality, expresses as well as anything the deep-seated pessimism and anxiety rooted in the vicissitudes of Jewish history.
		With a historically-conditioned sense of foreboding ("gevalt syndrome") and often personal experiences as refugees, Israelis tend to interpret security very broadly as freedom from threat to their personal safety and the ability to live without fear of politically-motivated violence.
		Ben-Gurion's distaste for the United Nations was famously expressed in his oft-quoted dismissal of "oom-shmoom," combining the Hebrew acronym for the UN with a Yiddish expression of belittlement.

		Today, I read a paper of his on a strange syndrome that affects some people who have suffered strokes that caused damage in their right parietal lobes, which resulted in, among other things, left visual field neglect.
		Two interpretations of mirror agnosia are possible, that are not mutually exclusive: (a) the syndrome may be a specific consequence of the neglect.
		Indeed, the most surprising aspect of the syndrome is not just the patient's reluctance to reach to the left, but her repeated attempts to go behind the mirror and her outlandish remarks, 'It is behind the mirror' or 'Inside the miror'--i.e.

	IPT - Coerced or Nonvoluntary Confessions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A distinction must be made between the generation in an interrogative context of a false belief that a person committed a crime and a false memory for the crime.
		The false memory may develop when there is some process which reinforces the false belief.
		Most important for the issue of nonvoluntary confessions, research with the GSS indicates that "resisters" (subjects who persistently denied their involvement in the crime they were charged with) score significantly lower than "false confessors" (subjects who retracted confessions they had previously made during police interrogations) (Gudjonsson, 1984b, 1991a, 1991b).

		There are those that think they are the one but that is the Elijah syndrome in that he was isolated and thought that he was alone.
		We had a great emotion in which it was possible to vow almost everything; but we may have lived to drift back again to an undirected and undedicated life, determined by outward events, swayed by the opinions of others, coerced by the constant compromises of life.

	The Character of Post Abortion Syndrome - David C. Reardon.
		This hyperarousal causes these defense mechanisms to become disorganized, disconnected from present circumstances, and take on a life of their own resulting in abnormal behavior and major personality disorders.
		As an example of this disconnection of mental functions, some PTSD victim may experience intense emotion but without clear memory of the event; others may remember every detail but without emotion; still others may re-experience both the event and the emotions in intrusive and overwhelming flashback experiences.
		This may be due to abortion related reactions such as lowered self-esteem, greater distrust of males, sexual dysfunction, substance abuse, and increased levels of depression, anxiety, and volatile anger.

		Like the compliant type, these false confession are typically elicited by persuasive questioning, but here the techniques used to elicit the false confession are usually more subtle and involve trust in the interrogator and the scenario suggested.
		The coerced- internalized confession arises, during interrogation, out of what has been described as the "memory distrust syndrome", where people come to distrust their own memory and begin to accept external cues, for example the suggestions and scenarios offered by interrogators.
		Regardless of the type of false confession, vulnerabilities have to be interpreted within the context of the overall case.

		Mild trauma, such as a car accident that could result in no more than mild whiplash, might cause the occupant of a car to have no memory of the moments just before the accident due to a brief interruption in the short/long-term memory transfer mechanism.
		"Traumatic amnesia" is also sometimes used to refer to long-term repressed memory that is the result of psychological trauma.
		It is believed that Mauritania's Silent Flute Man suffered from this condition.

		She realised that it stemmed from the fact that her mother kept her from communicating with her father after the two of them divorced and her father wanted to see her graduate from high school but unfortunately was unable to due to her mother.
		Also at this point she had some very distinct graphic memories that were easy for her to either prove or disprove; she was able to disprove the memories about her father.
		The accuser may be facing the realisation that the "memories" are wrong, that the therapists are not working in their best interests, or have some internal struggle regarding their accusations.
