TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - The fate of traumatic memories in childhood and adulthood JO - Development and psychopathology A1 - Christianson, S. A. A1 - Lindholm, T. SP - 761 EP - 780 VL - 10 IS - 4 N2 - The present article addresses issues concerning the complex relation between memory and trauma in childhood and adult life. Research findings showing how children and adults remember public and personal emotional events are presented, and mechanisms functioning to hold traumatic memories back from awareness are discussed. In the final section, developmental aspects are addressed by considering the interplay between child and adult trauma. Several cases are described that show how childhood trauma may be represented in memory and influence later development and adult memory processes.
