Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Hedges shows that many recovered memories have their source in primitive anxieties: it is easy for the therapist and the client to externalise onto the past and onto supposed perpetrators the intensity of transference anxieties.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
