Summary A survey of the psychiatry of defective memory is given insofar as it deals with the viewpoints of informative psychology. It begins with an introduction to the basic terms of the pathology of memory, which are clearly stated in the Table. Discussing pathological memory defects, special stress is laid on retrograde and other amnesias, twilight states, senile and presenile dementia, Alzheimer's disease and Korsakoff disorders and their relationship to cybernetical theories of memory. In addition, the phenomena of one minute-memory, hypermnesia, so called “Lebensbilderschau” (life panorama) and of memory changes by means of hypnosis are fully discussed.
