It's the crazy central device of the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind made real. The Telegraph reports that scientists have found a drug that is able to help banish bad memories.

Researchers have found they can use drugs to wipe away single, specific memories while leaving other memories intact. By injecting an amnesia drug at the right time, when a subject was recalling a particular thought, neuro-scientists discovered they could disrupt the way the memory is stored and even make it disappear.

Ironically I think I've blogged about this before but I can't really remember if I have or not. It seems to me to be a kind of drug assisted Neuro-Linguistic Programming and if effective could help many people deal with traumatic events they may have suffered.
