While rumination is often seen as goal-orientated and instrumental, Susan Nolen-Hoeksema discusses rumination as a maladaptive process, differentiating it from the problem-solving process proposed by others such as Martin and Tesser.
Key elements include:
Rumination versus problem-solving
Rumination and mood
Rumination and current theories
