Memory

Memory

Memory is the mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experiences. A 
repressed memory is one that is retained in the sub conscious mind, where 
one is not aware of it but where it can still affect both conscious thoughts 
and behavior.

When memory is distorted or confabulated, the result can be what has been 
called the False Memory Syndrome: a condition in which a person's identity 
and interpersonal relationships are entered around a memory of traumatic 
experience which is objectively false but in which the person strongly 
believes. Note that the syndrome is not characterized by false memories as 
such. We all have memories that are inaccurate. Rather, the syndrome may be 
diagnosed when the memory is so deeply ingrained that it orients the 
individual's entire personality and lifestyle, in turn disrupting all sorts 
of other adaptive behaviors. The analogy to personality disorder is 
intentional. False memory syndrome is especially destructive because the 
person assiduously avoids confrontation with any evidence that might 
challenge the memory. Thus it takes on a life of its own, encapsulated and 
resistant to correction. The person may become so focused on the memory that 
he or she may be effectively
