Modification of the ongoing influence of maladaptive cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns is a fundamental feature of many psychological treatments. Accordingly, a clear understanding of the nature of memory adaptation and accommodation to therapeutic learning becomes an important issue for (1) understanding the impact of clinical interventions, and (2) considering innovations in treatment strategies. In this article, we consider advances in the conceptualization of memory processes and memory modification research relative to clinical treatment. We review basic research on the formation of memories, the way in which new learning is integrated within memory structures, and strategies to influence the nature and degree to which new learning is integrated. We then discuss cognitive/behavioral and pharmacological strategies for influencing memory formation in relation to disorder prevention or treatment. Our goal is to foster awareness of current strategies for enhancing therapeutic learning and to encourage research on potential new avenues for memory enhancement in service of the treatment of mental health disorders.

修正适应不良的认知、情绪和行为模式的持续影响是许多心理治疗的一个基本特征。因此，清楚地了解记忆适应和适应治疗性学习的性质是一个重要的问题：(1)了解临床干预的影响，以及 (2)考虑治疗策略的创新。在本文中，我们考虑了与临床治疗相关的记忆过程和记忆修正研究的概念进展。我们回顾了关于记忆形成的基础研究，新学习如何整合到记忆结构中的方式，以及影响新学习整合的性质和程度的策略。然后，我们讨论了影响记忆形成的认知/行为和药理学策略，以预防或治疗障碍。我们的目标是提高对增强治疗性学习的当前策略的认识，并鼓励研究增强记忆的潜在新途径，以服务于精神健康障碍的治疗。
