Memory Disorders in Psychiatric Practice

Description

"This is a practical reference for the clinician. Psychiatrists, behavioural neurologists and clinical psychologists will share an interest in the historical and neurobiological accounts of memory and its disorders, which precede detailed accounts of the main memory syndromes seen in practice. These include organic syndromes such as the dementias, the amnesic syndrome and transient amnestic states, and also psychiatric aspects of memory disorders in the functional psychoses. Among the specific topics reviewed are the paramnesias, deja vu, flashbulb and flashback memories, and the problems of recovered, false and feigned memories."--Jacket.

First Sentence

Historical analysis can contributes to the understanding of memory complaints and disorders (e.g. Burnham, 1888-89; Berrios, 1985a, 1990, 1992b, 1995; Bulbena & Berrios, 1986; Levin et al., 1983), particularly if it takes into account their psychiatric dimension.
