Save event
The APP26 conference brings together researchers from around the world studying Autobiographical Processing and Psychopathology-related research (autobiographical memory, future and prospective thinking, mental imagery, reminiscence, narrative identity approaches, etc.). 
It focuses on how biases and impairments in autobiographical processing predict and maintain mental illnesses, and how interventions harnessing these autobiographical processes can remediate these issues and alleviate symptoms.
The meeting will span two days of cutting-edge science, panel discussion of controversies in our field, and friendly collegial time together with ample networking opportunities. We particularly welcome the attendance of PhD students.
