title: Deconstructing the process of change in cognitive behavioral therapy: An alternative approach focusing on the episodic retrieval mode.
abstract: Lane et al. view the process of memory reconsolidation as a main ingredient of psychotherapeutic change. They ascertain that in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) high priority is given to the "semantic structure." We argue that memory-related mechanisms of change in CBT are more nuanced than the target article presents. Furthermore, we propose to partially shift the focus from the process of reconsolidation to the retrieval operations.
