This chapter assesses the literature on rumination. It specifically attempts to integrate the additional considerations on rumination into the basic theoretical framework. It begins with a review of the goal-progress theory of rumination. Then, it uses a parallel distributed processing model to address the ways in which individuals attempt to balance the simultaneous pursuit of multiple goals. After that, it describes research showing that a major change (e.g. divorce, marriage) in an individual's life can lead the individual to reevaluate his or her goals. Finally, it integrates these ideas into a theoretical elaboration of the earlier theory of rumination. There was reason to believe the model was incomplete in several ways, although there is good evidence for the basic goal-progress model of rumination.
