A critical assessment of reconsolidation interference as a tool for therapeutic forgetting

View through CrossRef
Re-exposure to elements of prior experiences can create opportunities for inducing amnesia for those events. The dominant theoretical framework posits that such re-exposure can result in memory destabilization, making the memory representation temporarily sensitive to disruption while it awaits reconsolidation. If veritable, a mechanism that allows for memories to be permanently changed could have important implications for the treatment of several forms of psychopathology. However, the way reconsolidation theory is currently formulated and applied to account for empirical data hampers scientific and clinical progress. Theoretical and methodological advances are essential for a fruitful translation of reminder-dependent amnesia into clinical treatment.
