“…Previous studies (e.g. by Strauman et al 2001) had shown that a large perceived discrepancy from ideal self guides is associated with depression. Importantly for this study of recovered patients, such discrepancy can also be more easily primed in patients who have been depressed in the past but are currently in remission or recovery.…”

The author introduces the special section on mindfulness: four articles that between them explore the correlates of mindfulness in both crosssectional and treatment studies. Results from these studies, taken together, suggest a close association between higher levels of mindfulness, either as a trait or as cultivated during treatment, and lower levels of rumination, avoidance, perfectionism and maladaptive self-guides. These four characteristics can be seen as different aspects of the same 'mode of mind', which prioritizes the resolution of discrepancies between ideas of current and desired states using a test-operate-test-exit sequence. Mindfulness training allows people to recognize when this mode of mind is operating, to disengage from it if they choose, and to enter an alternative mode of mind characterized by prioritizing intentional and direct perception of moment-by-moment experience, in which thoughts are seen as mental events, and judgemental striving for goals is seen, accepted and 'let go'.

“…Less work has been done to examine the link between the prevention system and anxiety disorders (for a recent review, see Klenk, Strauman, & Higgins, in press). However, some empirical evidence does suggest that chronic actual-ought discrepancies do predict certain patterns of anxiety (Scott & O'Hara, 1993;Strauman, 1989;Strauman et al, 2001).…”

Different kinds of motivational orientations provide distinctive ways of perceiving the world, dealing with life's inevitable slings and arrows, regulating challenges and opportunities, and creating success. In this chapter, we explore these differences in the two motivational systems outlined in regulatory focus theory: the promotion and prevention systems (Higgins, 1997). In particular, we discuss these systems in terms of the trade-offs in each; what are the benefits and costs of a strong promotion focus? What are the advantages and drawbacks of a strong prevention focus? We explore the trade-offs of each system with regard to three significant aspects of self-regulation and motivation: emotional experiences, the balance between commitment versus exploration, and performance. We conclude by discussing the importance of constraints on these systems for effective self-regulation and by suggesting avenues for future research.

“…Based on self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987), Strauman et al (2001) examined the discrepancies between the actual self-evaluation and the belief how one ought to be (actual-ought discrepancy), as well as the discrepancy with how one would ideally like to be (actual-ideal discrepancy). In their study, both types of discrepancies decreased significantly during cognitive and interpersonal psychotherapy.…”

Self-esteem is related to depressive symptoms and interpersonal problems. Improvement of self-esteem during psychotherapy correlates with improvements of symptoms and interpersonal problems. Change of self-esteem during psychotherapy predicts depressive symptoms 6 months after termination of therapy. When treating depressed patients, psychotherapists should work towards an improvement of self-esteem in order to prevent relapse.
