This study evaluated mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), a group intervention designed to train recovered recurrently depressed patients disengage from dysphoria-activated depressogenic thinking that may mediate relapse/recurrence. Recovered (n = 145) were randomized continue with treatment as usual or, in addition, receive MBCT. Relapse/recurrence major depression was assessed over 60-week period. For 3 or more previous episodes of (77% the sample), MBCT significantly reduced risk...
Mood-memory phenomena have been studied using laboratory mood induction procedures with nondepressed subjects and clinically depressed individuals. The present study examined both hedonic nonhedonic aspects of autobiographical memory in people who had recently attempted suicide by overdose. Attempted subjects, were required to retrieve specific personal memories positive or negative cue words, showed biased retrieval when their performance was compared that control groups, but the bias...
Previous research on depressed and suicidal patients those with posttraumatic stress disorder has shown that patients' memory for the past is overgeneral (i.e., retrieve generic summaries of events rather than specific events). This study investigated whether autobiographical could be affected by psychological treatment. Recovered were randomly allocated to receive either treatment as usual or designed reduce risk relapse. Whereas control showed no change in specificity memories recalled...
Recent research has shown that suicidal patients are not only biased in the speed with which they can remember positive and negative events from their past, but also find it more difficult to be specific memories. That is, tend recall sequences of events, or time periods, rather than single episodes. This tendency been found evident events. paper examines whether same phenomenon observed a diagnosis primary Major Depressive Disorder. Twenty depressed twenty matched controls were presented...
Reduced autobiographical memory (AM) specificity is a known vulnerability factor for depression.AM was investigated as predictor of depression with the Autobiographical Memory Test (J.M. G. Williams & K. Broadbent, 1986).When baseline scores were partialed, reduced AM to negative cue words predicted higher levels at 7-month follow-up.Once rumination taken into account by means Rumination on Sadness Scale (M.Conway, P. A. R. Csank, S
This study investigated J. M. G. Williams's (1996) affect-regulation hypothesis that level of specificity autobiographical memory (AM) is used to minimize negative affect.It was found a event leads more reports subjective stress in high-as compared with low-specific participants.Also, afterward, high-specific participants rated their unprompted memories for the as unpleasant.The results indicate that, relative high specificity, being less specific retrieval AMs associated affective impact...
Aim To explore the association between weight and bullying; considering victims perpetrators as two aspects of bullying, subjective perception objective measurement weight.

The two‐stage sample design included a 910 primary schools reland, which 8568 nine‐year‐old children their families was randomly selected. Analysis statistically reweighted to ensure that it...
Four experiments investigated the role of imagery in recollection autobiographical memories. The first two examined effects word imageability and frequency on retrieval personal memories a cued memory task. They showed that cues (but not frequency) mediates specificity recall Experiment 2 explored how different modalities (visual, olfactory, tactile, auditory, motor) influence retrieval. Consistent with research verbal learning paradigms, visual emerged as most significant predictor...
Background. This study investigated whether individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) tend to be overgeneral in their autobiographical recall and the extent of covaries susceptibilities dissociative experiences, as expected on theoretical grounds. Methods. Twenty-three patients BPD 23 matched controls completed Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT) self-report measures depression, anxiety, trait anger experiences. Results. Participants scored significantly higher than control group...

Several studies have found that parasuicidal patients are poor at recalling specific autobiographical memories when tested with the word-cueing paradigm and two reported some evidence over-general recall is a risk factor for repetition of parasuicide. The aim present study was to test whether this association could be replicated sample suffering from borderline personality disorder (BPD).Twenty-three BPD completed version Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT) self-report measures depression,...
Abstract Hyaluronic acid, recently renamed hyaluronan, has been used as a therapeutic intervention in the treatment of osteoarthritis. We have reported that high‐molecular‐weight (800 kDa) hyaluronan is effective blocking catabolic action fibronectin fragments explant cultures bovine cartilage and an experimental vivo model damage to rabbit knee joint. The induce cytokines human cartilage, which, turn, suppress proteoglycan synthesis matrix metalloproteinases decrease content. Since clinical...
