摘要:This paper analyses some of the key issues raised across the eight contributions of the present special issue. First, the remarkable ubiquity of emotion regulation (ER) problems throughout psychopathology will be stressed, and the merits of relying on emotion science to further our understanding of psychopathology will be discussed. Then, the status of ER strategies in psychopathology will be discussed: Are they causes, consequences, mediators, or moderators of psychopathology? Developing this question implies considering the functions served by ER strategies and their interaction with the context in which they appear. Next, we examine the benefits of an ER approach to psychopathology for clinical practice, both for case conceptualization and for psychological treatment. Finally, some directions for future research are proposed. This paper analyses some of the key issues raised across the eight contributions of the present special issue.
