Confabulation following brain injury is discussed in terms of (1) the conditions of brain dysfunction under which it occurs; (2) its association with amnesia, the denial syndromes, and reduplicative phenomena; (3) its positive, symbolic, adaptive aspects; and (4) the relationship of the content to current stresses and premorbid experience.
