* In the Piers Anthony novel "Politician" (part of the Bio of a Space Tyrant), Hope Hubris is mind-wiped right before the election for President. His captors try to plant false memories to discredit him since he would contradict statements he made during the campaign. He finds a set of coded words that trigger his real memories hidden under [[spoiler:...well, they kept him in a dark pit-like compartment for a ''long'' time; just leave it at that]]. The coded words allow him to relive the experiences he had, but also cause him to relive the mental anguish of losing family members again.
