Abstract
There has been a good deal of research on thought suppression in clinical and social psychology during the past 15 years. Thought suppression refers to attempts to keep certain thoughts out of consciousness. While the idea promises to shed light on various psychopathological processes, research has in many ways been inconclusive. The main focus of this review is on the relevance of thought suppression for our understanding of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Drawing on the literature the review attempts to point out where research should be heading and to suggest to the clinician what lessons could be learnt.
