The Psychotherapist's Guide to Human Memory

"Given its central position in creating and comprehending a self, memory is a core component of psychotherapy - yet no mental health professional is required to study it, much less demonstrate an empirical understanding of its workings. Cognitive scientist Janet Jones makes a case for the indispensability of such understanding in the therapeutic setting and introduces the basic principles of remembering and forgetting that are likely to matter most to the clinical practitioner."--BOOK JACKET.
