It's one thing to erase the memory in an individual....but...
What about their friends and relatives that know what happened to them?
Do they walk around on eggshells trying not to let slip any details of the event that was erased?
Do they erase from the patients memory the ..erm.. memory that they had a procedure that removed a memory?
What if the patient comes across a picture of the themselves linked to a report of the traumatic event in a newspaper or other media?
I voted no, because the human brain is very adaptive and removing the memory does not stop the patient using reason to work out what happened.
Cheers
