Edited the date for Hyman et al (it said 2006 but likely meant 1995)
Dec 2, 2016 at 8:57 comment added Jlente I don't know of such a case and doubt it exists in healthy individual. As far as I know, there are also no credible studies showing that people with PTSD have clear memory dysfunction, and the study you cited did not find them either. Are you assuming that PTSD develops from having access to memories of trauma, which can then be created in someone, such as by brainwashing them for instance?

Jan 3, 2016 at 19:32 comment added memebrain Secondary PTSD, where a counsellor who deals with people who have undergone traumatic and life threatening events - develops PTSD themselves, might suggest that it is possible. Although not false memories, the counsellor has not experienced the trauma events themselves and has developed the PTSD from repeated exposure and emotionally close engagement with these events.
May 13, 2015 at 18:29 comment added Artem Kaznatcheev @ChristianHummeluhr I don't need experimental manipulations, I am happy with case studies. I don't see why such case studies cannot exist in principle: some people have long-term psychotherapists that they attend regardless of previous trauma (i.e. as a preventative measure; this is advised for psychiatry residents at our school, for instance), so such people could be certified as "typical" before and then later develop PTSD which after investigation turns out to be based around an event that never happened. The other direction has case-studies from people with an absent fear response.
Mar 25, 2015 at 10:21 comment added Christian Hummeluhr I love this question and think it has a lot of informational potential, but I am having a hard time seeing how it can have an answer besides an elaborate version of "this cannot be answered directly for methodological and ethical reasons, but indirect evidence (e.g., trauma duration matters, suggesting memory alone is not sufficient) suggests it is unlikely." Would that be a satisfying answer? +1, in any event.
