Text in English. 285 pp. Couple markings and folded corners on the pages. former owners name on the title page. Moods can powerfully bias what we think, remember, and perceive. This book focuses on the negative cognitive biases and thought patterns associated with depressed mood and addresses the questions: How is depressive thought to be explained? What is its role in the origins, main- tenance, and treatment of clinical depression? Can experimental findings provide insights that complement and extend clinically derived cognitive models and therapies of depression? A review of clinical, experimental, and theoretical approaches to understanding depressive thinking points to the inadequacies of existing explanatory accounts. The authors describe a radically new approach that overcomes these difficulties - Interacting Cognitive Subsystems (ICS). ICS provides a comprehensive framework for. understanding cognitive-affective interaction and change. This approach recognises qualitatively different kinds of information that have different relationships to affect. In particular, ICS distinguishes between two levels of meaning, one specific, the other more holistic, and suggests that only the more holistic level of meaning is directly linked to affect. This distinction enables ICS to provide an integrative account of the findings of experimental studies of mood-dependent cognition. It is also important in explaining the contrast between "hot" and "cold cognition, "knowing with the head" versus "knowing with the heart", and in understanding central aspects of psychotherapeutic change. ICS is illustrated by application to studies of mood effects on memory and judgement, to negative thought production and its role in the maintenance of depression, and to cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy. As well as providing a review of the current state of empirical and theoretical work in mood-dependent cognition, this book offers a new theoretical approach of wide relevance to understanding the interaction of cognition and emotion in both normal and clinical conditions.
