This week's mini-episode focuses on the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment. This is a classic experiment that most people learn about during intro to psychology courses. But usually, that isn't enough to cover all the wild details of this experiment. I try to break it all down on this installment!

October 14, 2022 Episode 49: Trauma Responses and Recovered Memories in Gerald's Game
CW: childhood sexual abuse, trauma
The next installment of Halloween-themed episodes looks at trauma in the Stephen King book/film, Gerald's Game. This is a very intense piece of work that serves as an illustration of trauma responses. I also take a look at the research on recovered memories and center this story in the context of the 1990s, coming out of the heels of the Satanic Panic and smack dab in the middle of the Woody Allen trial. Suffice it to say, it's a doozy of an episode!
