Summary and precautions. A motorcycle accident in a patient, who suffered severe brain damage and aphasia, was followed by a retrograde amnesia for all his previous life. Through suggestive hypnosis and an abreactive re-living of the accident the patient recovers his memory and returns to normal living and working. Techniques of treating amnesia are pointed out.
