Review & Meth-analysis of the Effects of Thought Suppression on Depressive Rumination
Thought suppression has been used as one of the primary modes of treatment for depression as a means to decreasing the rumination of depressive thinking. In this review of the literature, recent studies are compared through meta-analysis to gain more insight on thought suppression by looking at different variables that may contribute to depressive rumination. Effect sizes show a relation under certain situations, but more research is needed to effectively show where thought suppression is useful and in which cases it could be harmful.
