Opinion: What Weinstein's defense team doesn’t want you to know about sexual assault and memory (via latimesopinion)

has reignited controversies that have long surrounded survivors of sexual assault. How reliable can a survivor story be if memories of the assault are riddled with gaps and contradictions? Why wait so long to disclose the attack?often take issue with the veracity of such accuser testimony. These are, at worst, liars seeking limelight or, at best, confused victims. They may have been assaulted but not by this guy.

It’s also common for trauma accounts to include contradictions, which can be explained by how trauma memories are categorized. The brain can code trauma memories as implicit memories too. Rather than requiring deliberate retrieval, some trauma memories are triggered by cues. These cues are often sensory information that was experienced during the trauma. So, for my patient, a summer day when jasmine is in full bloom or a male voice like that of the supervisor might trigger new memories of the assault.

It’s like she knows she went to see a movie, knows she saw the entire movie, knows it was a horror movie but can only recall the vivid movie trailer. She may eventually recall the entire movie but not necessarily on her timeline.How a human brain processes a trauma is a highly personalized process that is impossible to predict. Some rape survivors might report the event immediately and be able to describe, in minute detail, what happened.
