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.
