Interesting timing on this one. A while ago, I ordered a book in my planning for a Crim/psyc course I had to teach. I did not end up using it, but recently took to reading it. The book is B.J. Cling's 2004 Sexualized Violence Against Women and Children.
Chapter 8 is on memories of child abuse. On p.196, she states "To this question [Is there support for delayed recall of childhood abuse], the unequivocal answer of the research literature is yes". Seems like she should take the challenge! JM -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Black [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: March 22, 2006 7:48 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences Subject: Repressed memory challenge As discussed on this list, Pope and Hudson have offered a $1000 prize to anyone who can find a case of repressed memory before 1800 (see http://www.butterfliesandwheels.com/articleprint.php?num=177). I've suggested that while the question is interesting, failing to find such a case isn't going to persuade anyone (especially True Believers) that repressed memory is nonsense (which it is, of course). An easy way to claim the money might be to use the services of Google Answers. Someone did but Google Answers answered not (or at least brought the questioner no joy and certainly no $1000). The person who asked was Harrison Pope.
