Abstract
This chapter explains how the interplay of personal experience and cultural knowledge shapes illness narratives. It examines how cultural knowledge can become a resource in guiding remembering about the past and shows how individual accounts draw strength and supposed truth as they are found within accounts of a collective past. This chapter is grounded in cognitive theories of both memory and narrative.
