Book Description:

Ulric Neisser's ecological/cognitive approach to the problem of self-knowledge is applied to the paradox of the self-narrative: remembering is an essential way of giving meaning to our lives, but the memories we construct are never fully consistent and often simply wrong. This problem is addressed by distinguished contributors from literary studies as well as from experimental, developmental, clinical and social psychology.
