Sigmund Freud believed that 鈥渞emembered鈥� events that never happened could
control those that actually did. He also saw memory as benevolent and
liberating, whether the events remembered were real or not. A more destructive
view of memory emerged with the controversy surrounding false memory syndrome.
In Real Events Revisited (Virago, 拢12.99, ISBN 1 86049 263 0), Ann Scott
tries to reconcile the two by asking just what 鈥渞eal鈥� means when it comes to
remembered events.
