摘要：For decades, clinical psychology research has been dominated by a focus on behaviour and cognition. Emotional processes, on the other hand, have traditionally received much less attention. In recent years, however, there is an emerging interest in the role of emotion regulation in psychopathology, as reflected by an increasing number of review articles and chapters (Amstadter, 2008; Campbell-SillsandBarlow, 2006; GrossandMuñoz, 1995; KringandWerner, 2004) as well as books (Bradley, 2000; KringandSloan, 2008) on this topic. In addition, interventions for emotional disorders have been developed that specifically target emotion regulation difficulties (e.g., Berking et al., 2008; Mennin, 2006; Power, 2010).
