The Handbook of Autobiographical Memory: From Basic to Applied Perspectives offers a comprehensive view on autobiographical memory from a multidisciplinary approach. The book explores contemporary advances in understanding both cognitive and neural processes, including historical contexts on autobiographical memory theory and assessment. The book further synthesizes insights from cognitive, developmental, and social aspects of autobiographical functioning while also covering departures from norms in terms of autobiographical memory dysfunction.
A section on applications equips readers with essential information regarding the assessment and detection of autobiographical memory dysfunction in neurological and psychiatric populations. How such processes evolve over the lifespan, and how deviations from healthy memory function can be supported through novel rehabilitation practices are also covered.
