| Research Abstract |
The main purpose of the present study was to investigate how the memories a person has of his or her own life experiences (i.e., autobiographical memory) serve to maintain or recover from depression. It was found that in depression, directive functions (planning for present and future behaviors) do not work effectively, self functions (self-continuity or psychodynamic integrity) are distorted, and social functions (social bonding) are biased. The results suggest that these dysfunctions of autobiographical memory are associated with difficulties in the emotion regulation, which might result in the maintenance of depression.
