TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Personality profiles, dissociation, and absorption in women reporting repressed, recovered, or continuous memories of childhood sexual abuse JO - Journal of consulting and clinical psychology A1 - McNally, R. J. A1 - Clancy, S. A. A1 - Schacter, D. L. A1 - Pitman, R. K. SP - 1033 EP - 1037 VL - 68 IS - 6 N2 - Women reporting either repressed, recovered, or continuous memories of childhood sexual abuse or no abuse history completed questionnaires tapping personality traits, absorption (fantasy proneness), dissociation, depression, and posttraumatic stress. Planned contrasts indicated that recovered memory participants scored higher on absorption and dissociation than did those reporting either continuous memories or no abuse history; repressed memory participants scored nonsignificantly higher than did recovered memory participants. On measures of distress, continuous memory participants were indistinguishable from nonabused participants, repressed memory participants scored highest, and recovered memory participants scored midway between continuous and repressed memory participants.
