Memory, Trauma Treatment and the Law. Daniel P. Brown, Alan W. Scheflin & D. Corydon Hammond. Norton Professional Books. 1998. ISBN: 9780393702545.

Memory, Trauma Treatment and the Law critically reviews memory science, trauma treatment, and legal issues around the false memory controversy. It covers topics such as recovered-memory debate, emotion and autobiographical memory, memory for trauma, suggestion and hypnosis, phase-oriented trauma treatment, and malpractice or legal cases involving alleged false memories. The book is often described as a major reference for clinicians, researchers, attorneys, and judges dealing with memory, trauma, hypnosis, and the legal treatment of recovered memories. It also received recognition in forensic psychiatry, including the 1999 Guttmacher Award.
