“…In his cognitive theory of depression, Beck (1976) suggested that depressed patients tend to be characterized by overgeneral and negative memories. In fact, recent studies confirmed these hypotheses among depressed patients (Young et al, 2013;Dalgleish et al, 2007;Williams et al, 2007;Dickson and Bates, 2006;MacKinger et al, 2000) and bipolar patients (Bozikas et al, 2019;Young et al, 2016;Kim et al, 2014;Mowlds et al, 2010;Scott et al, 2000), highlighting less specific and more general AM when compared to healthy individuals.…”

Background: The literature suggests that cognitive reactivity in bipolar patients can increase relapse vulnerability, is enhanced by depressive mood and dysfunctional attitudes, and could be improved with MBCT. Autobiographical memory (AM) could be involved in cognitive reactivity, and improved with MBCT training. This study aims to investigate the effect of MBCT for bipolar patients on depressive and anxious symptoms, dysfunctional attitudes and AM, and the predictive versus mediating role of AM in the impact of MBCT on clinical symptoms. Methods: Sixty-two outpatients diagnosed with bipolar I disorder were assigned to MBCT and were compared to 37 bipolar patients on a waiting list. Affective symptoms and dysfunctional attitudes were explored using selfreport inventories (BDI, BAI, DAS) and AM was assessed using the Autobiographical Memory Test. Results: Patients receiving MBCT demonstrated significantly decreased depressive symptoms, dysfunctional attitudes, overgeneral memories and omissions, and increased specific memories. General AM and omissions at baseline respectively predicted lower anxiety and dysfunctional attitudes improvement following therapy, but the improvement of AM did not explain the impact of MBCT on depression and dysfunctional attitudes improvement. Limits: Further studies should consider patients' therapeutic adherence and mechanisms involved in MBCT in order to better apprehend how MBCT may reduce dysfunctional attitudes and improve AM in bipolar patients. Conclusion: Results are consistent with the hypothesis that MBCT reduces cognitive reactivity and AM impairment in bipolar disorders. Findings suggest that AM training prior to MBCT may influence MBCT efficacy, but that MBCT efficacy on AM and clinical symptoms are non-related phenomena.

“…However, results from the literature on AM in bipolar disorder still are inconsistent (Quinlivan et al, 2017); and, as pointed by Bozikas et al (2019), additional research is necessary to better apprehend AM in bipolar disorder.…”

“…through medical records). Self-report of clinical symptoms is notoriously unreliable in patients with mood disorders, especially given the impairments in autobiographical memory experienced by these individuals (Bozikas et al, 2019;Tremain et al, 2019). As such, rather than risking the inclusion of potentially biased or mistaken data in our study, we opted to exclude these variables altogether.…”

“…The only way in which this data could have been collected would be through patient self-report. Unfortunately, self-reported clinical histories in BD are notoriously unreliable (Tremain et al, 2019), not least due to the impairments in autobiographical memory observed in these individuals (Bozikas et al, 2019). As such, rather than using unreliable data, we opted to leave these variables out of the study.…”
