Autobiographical memory and emotion in a non‐clinical sample of women with and without a reported history of childhood sexual abuse

Abstract

Models of the long-term effects of CSA should incorporate the effects CSA may have on subsequent retrieval for memory of non-abuse events. To improve treatment outcome, clinicians may have to directly address these deficits in therapy.

Role of Parenting and Maltreatment Histories in Unipolar and Bipolar Mood Disorders: Mediation by Cognitive Vulnerability to Depression

“…Another four retrospective studies of adults (Gold, 1986;Henderson, Hargreaves, Gregory, & Williams, 2002;Wenninger & Ehlers, 1998;Whiffen, Thompson, & Aube, 2000) and three cross-sectional studies of children (Feiring, Taska, & Lewis, 1998;Mannarino & Cohen, 1996;Runyon & Kenny, 2002) also examined the relationship between CSA and depressive symptoms (see Table V). Six of these seven studies found that CSA (self-reported in the adult studies and documented in the child studies) was associated with higher depressive symptom levels, with effect sizes in the small to moderate range.…”

“…In a recent qualitative and quantitative review of studies examining the relation between childhood maltreatment and cognitive vulnerability to depression, Gibb (2002) concluded that a history of both emotional and sexual abuse, but not physical abuse, were associated with and, in a few studies, prospectively predicted, negative cognitive styles. Moreover, newer studies available since the time of Gibb's (2002) review (Gibb & Alloy, in press;Henderson et al, 2002;Meadows & Kaslow, 2002;Mendelson, Robins, & Johnson, 2002;Runyon & Kenny, 2002;Spasojevic & Alloy, 2002;Steinberg, Gibb, Alloy, & Abramson, 2003; but see Toth et al, 2002 for an exception) have continued to support a small to moderately sized association between a history of childhood abuse and negative cognitive styles (see Table VII, Part A). Inasmuch as Gibb's (2002) review and these newer studies clearly establish the association between maltreatment (CEA and CSA, specifically) and cognitive vulnerability, we focus here on studies that specifically test whether various cognitive vulnerabilities for depression actually mediate the abuse-depression relationship.…”

De samenhang tussen depressie, trauma en verminderde specificiteit van het autobiografisch geheugen

“…Deze bevindingen werden nadien gerepliceerd in een niet-klinische groep. Zo vonden Henderson, Hargreaves, Gregory, en Williams (2002) in een studie bij vrouwelijke universiteitsstudenten dat zij die als kind seksueel misbruikt waren geweest, minder specifiek waren in het ophalen van herinneringen dan zij die geen dergelijk misbruik rapporteerden. Opnieuw was het hier zo dat de mate van depressie, in termen van een score op een depressieschaal, niet gerelateerd was aan de mate van geheugenspecificiteit.…”

“…Wat betreft het belang hiervan met betrekking tot overalgemeen geheugen hebben verscheidene studies een verband gerapporteerd tussen verminderde specificiteit en een verhoogde mate aan traumagerelateerde intrusies en cognitieve inspanningen tot het vermijden of onderdrukken van herinneringen aan trauma(ta) uit het verleden (Brewin, Reynolds, & Tata, 1999;Kuyken & Brewin, 1995;Raes, Hermans, Williams, Brunfaut, Hamelink, & Eelen, in druk;Stokes et al, 2004;Wessel, Merckelbach, & Dekkers, 2002;voor niet-replicaties, zie De Decker et al, 2003;Henderson et al, 2002;Hermans et al, 2004). De mate waarin iemand dergelijke intrusieve gedachten ervaart alsook de tendens tot het bewust trachten te vermijden van herinneringen aan het trauma, vertellen ons iets over hoe iemand omgaat met traumatische ervaringen uit het verleden.…”

Do estresse precoce à depressão: avaliação da atividade do eixo Hipotálamo-Pituitária-Adrenal (HPA) e da função cognitiva

“…Estudos demonstraram também que adultos com história de maus tratos podem apresentar prejuízos na memória autobiográfica, apresentando maior propensão a produzir falsas memórias e, por consequência lançando dúvidas sobre a acurácia de memória dessa população (Henderson, Hargreaves, Gregory, &Williams, 2002;Clancy, Schacter, McNally & Pitman, 2000). (Beblo, Sinnamon, & Baune, 2011), nas funções executivas (Kaymak et al, 2010;Neu et al 2005) e na memória (Reppermund, Ising, Lucae & Zihl, 2009).…”
