Research on autobiographical memory (AM) and the ability to retrieve specific autobiographical events in euthymic depressed patients yielded divergent results. The main goal of the present study was to further explore episodic specificity of AM among fully remitted depressed patients. Twenty euthymic depressed patients and 20 matched healthy controls were given a semi-structured interview, which assesses episodic specificity of positive and negative autobiographical memories regarding event and details' specificity, autonoetic consciousness (remember/know procedure) and visual perspective (field/observer procedure). Results showed an impairment of episodic specificity of AM in euthymic depressed patients. This impairment was explained by a field perspective deficit for positive memories only. These results suggest that euthymic patients continue to exhibit discrepancy between their current self and their self for positive past behaviors, which maintains an unfavorable view of their current self. Specific cognitive interventions may improve the self-relevance of their positive memories.
关于自传体记忆（AM）以及心境正常的抑郁症患者检索特定自传体事件能力的研究得出了不同的结果。本研究的主要目的是进一步探究完全康复的抑郁症患者自传体记忆的情节特异性。对20名心境正常的抑郁症患者和20名匹配的健康对照者进行了半结构化访谈，该访谈评估了关于事件和细节特异性、自我觉知意识（记得/知道程序）以及视觉视角（场景/观察者程序）的积极和消极自传体记忆的情节特异性。结果显示，心境正常的抑郁症患者存在自传体记忆情节特异性受损的情况。这种损害仅由积极记忆的场景视角缺陷来解释。这些结果表明，心境正常的患者在其当前自我与过去积极行为的自我之间继续表现出差异，这维持了他们对当前自我的负面看法。特定的认知干预可能会提高他们积极记忆的自我相关性。
