How People Come to Believe They Were Kidnapped by Aliens
Omschrijving
Based on evaluations of "abductees," contends that people who believe they were kidnapped by aliens are sane and have created false memories based on nightmares, cultural images, and a need for meaning that science cannot satisfy. Clancy argues that abductees are sane, intelligent people who have unwittingly created vivid false memories from a mélange of nightmares, culturally available texts, and a drive for meaning that science is unable to satisfy. This book is not only a subtle exploration of the workings of memory, but a sensitive inquiry into the nature of belief.
