TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - A systematic review of the relationship between rumination and suicidality JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Morrison, Rebecca A1 - O'Connor, Rory C. SP - 523 EP - 538 VL - 38 IS - 5 N2 - Rumination has been persistently implicated in the etiology of hopelessness and depression, which are proximal predictors of suicidality. As a result, researchers have started to examine the role of rumination in suicidality. This systematic review provides a concise synopsis of the current progress in examining the relationship between rumination and suicidality, and highlights areas for future research. A search of the international literature was conducted using the three main psychological and medical databases. Eleven studies were identified providing evidence, with one exception, of a relationship between rumination and suicidality. This review also highlights the considerable dearth of studies on this area of concern, specifically of case-control and prospective, clinical studies, in the worldwide literature.
