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...

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.

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...

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.
