The Rumination Rut

An older article (2003) for general reading in Psychology Today, The Rumination Rut, provides a brief explanation of rumination and its role in depression. It touches briefly on the work by Susan Nolen-Hoeksema on gender differences in rumination and depression. It also suggests how to identify tendencies to rumination and strategies for breaking the rumination cycle.
