Is it possible to ban unwanted thoughts from consciousness?
According to the literature on thought suppression, the answer is
no. In the 1980s, Wegner and colleges demonstrated that the average
person cannot prevent a trivial thought like that of a polar bear
from entering consciousness approximately seven times in a five
minute period. This experimental finding was followed by a
substantial number of replications. This book provides an
up-to-date overview of the thought suppression literature. First,
similarities and differences between suppression, repression, and
dissociation are discussed. Methodological issues are then
considered. Finally, the clinical applications of the thought
suppression literature are discussed. Although there are numerous
conditions to which the phenomenon of suppression can be applied,
obsession and traumatic recollection are the main applications. In
addition to offering an overview of the literature, this book links
the thought suppression paradigm to other research fields, such as
directed forgetting and repressive coping. Furthermore, it
discusses the phenomenon of thought suppression in the light of
broader theories such as the cognitive theory of obsession, and the
ego depletion hypothesis. Clinical implications and directions for
future research are offered.
