CSEL Director Jane Herlihy to speak at Solace Women's Aid

On March 25th, Jane will be presenting some of her work on trauma and memory to Solace Women's Aid, drawing on a recently published review of the currently available scientific literature on memory, in order to outline theories of normal and traumatic memory.  Her presentation will also include research studies on inconsistencies in memory, overgeneral memory and difficulties disclosing distressing personal experiences, that demonstrate some of the reasons why people who have experienced one or many traumatic events might have difficulties presenting a consistent, coherent and full description of some of the most distressing moments of their lives.
