A prospective study of dysfunctional thinking and the regulation of negative intrusive memories in bipolar 1 disorder: implications for affect regulation theory

Abstract

These findings are in line with the 'affect regulation' hypothesis for UP disorder and deliberate self-harm. This may help in understanding the mode of action of CBT in BP disorder and to further improve the therapy, primarily through the promotion of affective regulation, which is one component of the complex CBT intervention for BP disorder.

Los pacientes con trastorno bipolar presentan sesgo emocional en memorias de eventos simuladores de la realidad: Estudio basado en el paradigma de realidad virtual

“…These findings point to the existence in the BD euthymic phase of alterations in the memory processes for the emotionally charged infor mation, suggesting additionally that the mechanism un derlying these alterations depends on the valence (posi tive or negative) of processed information. They are also consistent with the findings obtained by Scott et al (2000) and Tzemou and Birchwood (2007) indicating that BD patients use cognitive styles that are dysfunc tional and that makes them more vulnerable to develop depressive symptoms. According to Bearden et al (2006), the performance on recognition tasks allows to infer about the encoding processes.…”

“…It has been also shown (Boulanger, Lejeune, & Blairy, 2013;Kim et al, 2014;Mansell & Lam, 2004;Tzemou & Birchwood, 2007) that BD patients process differently the information related with the events from their own life and represented in the eventspecific knowledge (ESK; Conway & PleydellPearce, 2000). According to some authors (Boulanger et al, 2013;Kim et al, 2014;Mansell & Lam, 2004), the manifestations of these differences can be observable through the di minished specificity of autobiographical memories (AMs) retrieved on the base of negative cues.…”

Other au thors have demonstrated (BobrowiczCampos, 2015;Scott, Stanton, Garland, & Ferrier, 2000;Tzemou & Birchwood, 2007) that difficulties in the retrieval of the information represented in the ESK appear in the pres ence of both, positive and negative cues. Furthermore, Tzemou and Birchwood (2007) have shown that the indi ces of specificity of AMs retrieved after the presentation of negative cues tend to remain steady over different phases of BD, while retrieval based on positive cues im prove significantly on the euthymic phase.…”

“…Este padrão traduz-se por estratégias de regulação emocional mal adaptativas (Fakhry et al, 2013;Gruber, Eidelman, & Harvey, 2008;Johnson, McMurrich, & McKenzie, 2008) e estilo cognitivo disfuncional (Lam, Wright, & Smith, 2004;Tzemou, & Birchwood, 2007), variando as suas manifestações de acordo com sintomas clínicos e subsindrómicos experienciados no momento. Os episódios de depressão major são marcados por autoestima baixa e instável, pensamentos ruminativos e atitudes disfuncionais, entre outros (Scott & Pope, 2003;Tzemou, & Birchwood, 2007;van der Gucht, Morris, Lancaster, Kinderman, & Bentall, 2009). Os episódios de mania e hipomania distinguem-se pela presença de atitudes que incentivam comportamentos de risco e que estão fortemente orientadas para o alcance de objetivos pessoais (Beck, Colis, Steer, Madrak, & Goldberg, 2006;Goldberg, Gerstein, Wenze, Welker, & Beck, 2008;van der Gucht et al, 2009).…”
