Self-images and related autobiographical memories in schizophrenia

► Autobiographical memories (ABM) are less thematically linked to patients' self-images. ► ABM underlying patients' self-images are associated to a weakened sense of self. ► The organization of ABM grouding the self is deficient in schizophrenia. ► These abnormalities may account for the poor cohesiveness of the self in patients.
