Reviews and Endorsements
‘An excellent overview of memory as it has been conceived of by multiple disciplines in the past and present added to by the author’s own scholarly and creative imaginings. In this sense the book is what it studies, a construction. It is a must read for those grappling with understanding this mystery.’ - Gillian Straker, clinical professor of Psychology, University of Sydney; visiting research professor, University Witwatersrand.
‘Gillian Burrell brings a unique lens to our understanding of Memory. Her perspective is informed by psychoanalysis, philosophy and literature, exploring the political and ethical dilemmas of contemporary society. Vivid vignettes from her own life and work as a psychotherapist provide a "spirited response", original and passionate, illuminating the centrality of Memory to understanding our relationship to the past, the present and our futures.’ - Dr. Penelope Jools, clinical psychologist.
