The Spring of Memory

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A feature by BILL MORRISON and JOHN THEOCHARIS
Under the guidance of a hypnotist (Leonard Wilder. Dental Surgeon) and with a tape-recorder placed next to the couch, a subject (Bill Morrison ) registers the regressive movement of an adult's life to the earliest childhood memories, goes through the trauma of birth and describes some sensations inside the womb. Is what emerges a true memory of being born and of growing up or is it merely memories of childhood fantasies?
Even if these descriptions were conscious artefacts, they would be remarkable
(THE GUARDIAN)
One of the strangest and most impressive programmes I have ever heard
(THE OBSERVER)
A bsolutely rireting to listen to (FINANCIAL TIMES) Presented and produced by JOHN THEOCHARIS
