Abstract

Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA) has profound and lasting effects on memory, particularly in how survivors encode, store, and retrieve traumatic experiences. This review examines empirical research on the relationship between trauma and memory among CSA survivors, focusing on memory fragmentation, dissociation, delayed recall and the role of stress-related neurobiological changes. It also explores controversies surrounding repressed and recovered memories, discussing psychological and neuroscientific perspectives. The review concludes with implications for therapeutic interventions and legal proceedings.
