Résumé

Known as intrusive, uncontrollable, recurrent and repetitive thoughts, rumination received considerable interest over the past two decades, as it is considered as an important cognitive process and is a trandiagnostic symptom which plays a role in the evolution of many psychological disorders. Researchers in Europe, Asia and USA, studied this subject multiple ways and developed theories to explain it, scales to measure it and psychological and cognitivo-behavioral therapies to control it. Noticing the lack of research in the Arabic academic field, this topic aims to review foreign studies that have been led, and try to introduce this topic in Algeria, and give it a as an independent subject, going thru its definition, components, causes and consequences, its relationship with other disorders and therapy.
