Carefully edited and organized by Linda Meyer Williams and Victoria L. Banyard, this book contains state-of-the-art data in this controversial area. Trauma and Memory offers a forum for researchers who review cutting-edge research and theory, integrating multidisciplinary researchfindings in coherent treatment, legal, and social policies and practice.
