Repetition Compulsion: Understanding the Cognitive Basis
By Maria Agit, Ed.D.
Repetition Compulsion: Understanding the Cognitive Basis studies the effect of trauma on cognition. Specifically, the author's focus is on visual memory.
Maria Agit, Ed.D. writes to refute contemporary literature on cognition and memory. A patient who has experienced trauma struggles to differentiate between daily life and the trauma. Unable to separate the old patterns of trauma with the new stimuli, the patient cannot react appropriately. The root of this inability is the patient's impaired visual memory and failure to symbolize. This affects the patient's perception and recall of a transformed representation of knowledge.
Agit's work with trauma and loss, as well as her studies with cognitive processes, give her fresh insight into new therapies. Trauma can only subside when the individual embraces the memories and realizes that the separation has happened and cannot be undone. Therapy with cognitive processing and understanding of the hippocampus allows the patient to recognize the new environment – and therefore create new patterns of meaning and behavior.
