Dear Hadeel,
I guess that the motives of writing an autobiography are different for different authors. If you write an essay on this, I think you should treat each author as a special case. I believe the same for your second question, namely, that different people rely in different ways on their psychological conditions. There are a lot of factors involved when writing a book - reason, motive, purpose, your culture, current or past psychological conditions, the public (people who are going to read it, familiar to you or not), etc.

The byproducts of any work of literature are almost cause for psychanalyzation. Principally, the idea of self-concept would envoke any person to write their life's story. The success in doing so would implicate overall success as a person. This is a psychological state that someone might have in a 'mid-life crisis'. Though in the stages that one goes through to accept death (research Thanatology) reassurance that their life was fulfilling is one important step. Narsissism is also a possible psychological state that would cause someone to write an autobiography; that is self-love.
