SynopsisHow do we evaluate claims of alien abduction, multiple personalities, or recovered memories of abuse? This edited volume applies thoughtful, scholarly analyses to explore how people construct their sense of reality. Distinguished thinkers from the fields of psychology, anthropology, and sociology discuss the differences among imagining, believing, and remembering. Other chapters investigate such topics as the hypnotic subject's belief in the contrafactual, the role of dreams in believed-in imaginings, and such developmental phenomenon as belief in the Tooth Fairy., This text deals in part with media articles: abductions by aliens and satanic ritual abuse. It investigates the functions of such imaginings, and covers issues such as: defining imagining, believing and remembering; developmental issues; interpersonal processes; and sociohistorical phenonema.
