Abstract

Emotion regulation is a key determinant of mental health and functions as a transdiagnostic mechanism in the development, maintenance and treatment of psychological disorders. This article provides an overview of major theoretical models and assessment methods of emotion regulation and discusses risk factors contributing to the emergence of dysfunctional emotion regulation. Empirical evidence linking emotion regulation deficits to a range of mental disorders is summarized, emphasizing the role of specific regulatory strategies across disorders. Moreover, psychotherapeutic approaches explicitly targeting emotion regulation are outlined and current findings on their efficacy are presented. The article concludes with practical implications for the diagnostics, prevention and treatment, illustrated by a clinical case example.
