ABSTRACT

We applied two sessions of memory rescripting in routine cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) practice for MDD and measured its effectiveness. We also examined the content of intrusive memories and rescripted memories. Sixteen patients with MDD were asked to identify intrusive memories and rate their vividness, distress, interference with daily life, and uncontrollability before and after memory rescripting. As a result, memory rescripting significantly reduced the intrusive memory index. With one exception, memory rescripting created an image containing compassionate imagery, mastery imagery, or both elements. These results suggest that two sessions of memory rescripting could be incorporated into traditional CBT to improve distress caused by intrusive memories experienced by patients with MDD.

摘要

我们在常规认知行为疗法（CBT）练习中对MDD应用了两次记忆记录，并评估了其有效性。我们还检查了侵入式记忆和改写式记忆的内容。要求16名MDD患者在记录记忆前后对侵入性记忆进行识别，并对它们的生动性，困扰，对日常生活的干扰以及不可控制性进行评分。结果，内存改写显着降低了侵入式内存索引。除了一个例外，内存改写创建了一个包含同情图像，精通图像或这两个元素的图像。这些结果表明，可以将两个会话的记忆记录合并到传统的CBT中，以改善由MDD患者经历的侵入性记忆引起的困扰。
