%X This study aims to develop and test a 3-session version of the Broad-Minded AffectiveCoping (BMAC) technique and to explore the relationship between implementation(features of the positive memory evoked, satisfaction, and engagement) andoutcome. The BMAC was delivered to 31 female university students in three sessionsover 7–10 days. Positive and negative affect, and difficulties in regulation ofnegative and positive emotions were assessed pre-treatment and post-treatment. Theintervention resulted in a significant reduction in negative affect and in difficultiesin negative emotion regulation. No significant effects were found on positive affector on difficulties in positive emotion regulation. Moreover, the memories chosenwere found to be highly central, and patient and therapist levels of satisfaction andengagement in the technique were very high throughout the three sessions. No significantrelationships were found between implementation and outcome. This leadsto the conclusion that the technique may be suitable for inclusion in broader treatmentpackages.
