[The influence of emotions on upbringing memories: a before-after study with a parental bonding instrument (PBI)].

Abstract

A common idea is the that the patients with affective and anxiety disorders recover in a partial way their memories in function of their state. This particular fact can influence the remembrance of the upbringing so that the memory is facilitated for facts congruent with their current affects. The authors apply a questionnaire of upbringing (PBI) to a group of anxious and depressive patients at the beginning of the treatment and when the improvement has taken place. There are not variations for the punctuations in the scale of upbringing, which is invariant with the changes of the humour.
