OK, I bet I'm not the only one to find this freaking TERRIFYING: Scientists succeed in selectively erasing memories (in mice).

Or to find this comforting: Cortisol for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

And this intriguing: False memories can influence behavior

For the record, I believe we have a right to our true memories, but also relief from debilitating pain from those memories, and must be wary of how maleable memories may be.

  2. Carl Sagan has an interesting book chapter on repressed memories in one of his books- if only I could remember what one it was. Something about superstition and pseudoscience.
