研究人员对抑郁和非抑郁癌症患者的匹配样本进行了有关过去生活事件的采访，特别是死亡和疾病的经历。他们识别并描述了他们在过去一周内经历的与这些事件相对应的任何自发侵入性视觉记忆。大约四分之一的人报告了这些记忆，正如预测的那样，大多数侵入性记忆涉及疾病，伤害和死亡。平均水平的入侵和回避相当于创伤后应激障碍患者。与预测一致，抑郁症患者报告的侵入性记忆明显多于对照组，并将记忆描述为通常始于抑郁症发作或因抑郁症发作而加剧。更多的侵入性记忆与更多的适应不良的应对，以及更大的回避与自传体记忆功能的缺陷。(C)1998爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
Matched samples of depressed and nondepressed cancer patients were interviewed about past life events, particularly experiences of death and illness. They identified and described any spontaneous intrusive visual memories they had experienced in the past week corresponding to these events. About one quarter reported such memories and, as predicted, the majority of intrusive memories concerned illness, injury and death. The mean levels of intrusion and avoidance were equivalent to patients with post-traumatic stress disorder. Consistent with prediction, depressed patients reported significantly more intrusive memories than controls, and described the memories as typically beginning with or being exacerbated by the onset of depression. Greater numbers of intrusive memories were associated with more maladaptive coping, and greater avoidance with deficits in autobiographical memory functioning. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
