The Psychology of Autobiographical Memory(ORIGINAL PDF)

“Professor Sotgiu, an active autobiographical memory researcher, provides in a scholarly, clear fashion what his title implies.  As an up-to-date monograph for general readers, more specialized researchers, and upper-level students, his book has no equal.  Heated controversies are fairly presented.  A broad range of historical figures share pages with more recent researchers to produce a unique and welcomed review.”

— David Rubin, Duke University, USA

“This book is refreshing in contextualizing this contemporary field in its 140-year history. Readers are guided down a fascinating path to explore the intellectual evolution of humans’ obsession with their personal pasts. By presenting a comprehensive overview of both pioneering and current research, Sotgiu provides a carefully reasoned exploration of the intricacies of recalling and sharing the early, happy, meaningful and difficult events that make up a life.”

“Rigorous, clear and pleasant to read, this book offers us a model of effective communication of science.”
