Rezensionen

'This is a rigorous and weighty work of the moral philosophy of memory. It encourages reflection on why we remember what we do and the wider purposes that our memories serve. ... therapists reading this book will gain valuable insights which may be of benefit to their patients given the central role of memories in the therapeutic encounter ...'
