TL;DR
It is confirmed that cognitive immunization in MDD can be inhibited, thus facilitating adjusting negative expectations and providing information to emphasize the relevance of expectation-disconfirming information.
Abstract
The present study confirms that cognitive immunization in MDD can be inhibited, thus facilitating adjusting negative expectations. The most promising results were found for the INFORMATION group, providing information to emphasize the relevance of expectation-disconfirming information.
