The media has often stated that Marli now suffers from retrograde amnesia and reportedly cannot remember the events of that night. I think we are all curious about whether Marli will take the stand and how much she will be able to recall of the night and her life and that of Henri's before the murders.

However, Psychology Today states that there are nine methods for treating amnesia.
Treatments for Amnesia
What can help if a person has any of the different forms of amnesia?
The following is a list of some of the most effective methods:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR):This method was developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro. It can help integrate the two hemispheres of the brain to help recall events.
Hypnosis: Through relaxation and a method called “age regression, it is possible to retrieve lost memories.
Energy Psychology: This method that originated with Dr. Roger Callahan in TFT uses acupuncture points and Qi.
Neurofeedback: This method helps with the dysregulation of the brain and neural hubs. It helps to regulate brain function and restore or make new neural connections.
Cognitive Therapy: The focus of cognitive remediation is to help an individual acquire tools and strategies necessary to improve thinking, executive functioning, time management, and decision-making. Through this method the brain can often access the lost memories.
Occupational Therapy: Occupational therapy is designed to assess the function and potential complications related to the movement of the upper extremities, daily living skills, cognition, vision, and perception. This method helps to integrate the body/mind connection that allows the body/cell memories to integrate with the brain.
Bilateral Sounds: This method is for helping the brain become unstuck and regulated. It is very effective for reeducating the left and right hemispheres, as well as for relieving stress and symptoms of PCS and PTSD. A web-based company, Psych Innovations, produces some commonly used bilateral sounds for this purpose.
Technical Assistance from iPhone, iPad, tablet: My co-author, Barbara Albers Hill, has published a new book, Breaking Through. This book is a complete guide to using Electronic tablets for children with special needs.The information in this book is also very effective for helping with all types of memory problems.
Nutrition: What you eat or don’t eat truly affects access and retrieval of memory. If you still have some form of amnesia, drinking alcohol and eating sugar will not help. Eat more protein, especially foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, such as tuna and sockeye salmon. Try and stick to an anti-inflammatory diet.
The good news is that there is Help and Hope of regaining lost memories.
