The benefits of this approach rest on the ability of the client—with the help of the therapist—to reject dysfunctional thoughts and supplant them with adaptive cognitions. If the client is unable to generate compelling alternatives to dysfunctional thoughts, the self monitoring exercise may backfire by promoting unproductive rumination. 2, record 2, English, - dysfunctional%20thought

La rumination suicidaire évoque un fantasme suicidaire, sans intention précise. Elle consiste en des évocations récurrentes de la mort qui balaient l'imaginaire du suicidaire à la manière de vagues successives. Ce dernier se sent alors impuissant et obsédé. 2, record 5, French, - rumination%20suicidaire

L'idée de suicide peut, en effet, être plus ou moins explicite selon les trois degrés de gravité psychologique : l'intention, la rumination et l'idée suicidaire. Lorsque le patient a pris la décision d'attenter à ses jours, il veut passer à l'acte et, souvent, il a pris des dispositions en ce sens; cette étape constitue l'«intention suicidaire». À un niveau moins grave se situe la «rumination suicidaire», lorsque le sujet ressasse des pensées suicidaires insistantes. L'«idée suicidaire» constitue le niveau le moins grave; elle est très fréquente et a probablement effleuré l'esprit de la plupart des gens, l'espace d'un instant. 3, record 5, French, - rumination%20suicidaire
