How memory changes the shape of a clinical account
Clinical memories are reconstructed, especially after stress, sleep loss, fear, or grief. Details may feel vivid and sincere while their timing or sequence remains uncertain. A responsible account can acknowledge that limitation without accusing the narrator of dishonesty.
Compare remembered dialogue with documented events, note how long after the event the story was recorded, and ask whether other witnesses were interviewed independently. Those questions make a story more useful even when no final explanation is possible.
