Outline of Final Research Achievements

There is a phenomena that depressive people can only remind over generalized and negative memory about his life. How is unconsciousness causing this phenomena ? Many research area of psychology and cognitive and neuro science have studied about unconscious mechanism but have not interfaced sufficiently until now. This study try to integrate existing knowledge and propose new theoretical model about unconsciousness, search the truth of this phenomena. We constructed theoretical module to integrate concepts about memory in schools of psychotherapy and memory psychology with consideration for nervous correlation. We tried practical study with this theoretical module. And we was carried out experimental study by experience sampling method.
