When I say recovered memory, I intend to refer to a specific therapy technique that is full stop no longer used by anyone at all credible in the field. ‘Body keeps the score’ is a very popular book for clinicians to recommend to patients, so while I haven’t read it I imagine it’s not espousing what I intended to refer to and likely isn’t especially controversial. Though, I would caution you that’s it’s a book for popular audiences not a scientific paper, so the language contained within may not be the most precise among those trained in the field—especially a decade plus after its first publication. With that said, I wouldn’t say my own perspective on memory and trauma is necessarily in opposition to what ‘Body keeps…’ is saying.
