You can't always think what you want: Problems in the suppression of unwanted thoughts von Daniel M. Wegner

Rachman & Hodgson, 1980). Although thought suppression might be of little use

useful as a strategy for the inhibition of voluntary actions.

reward-is strongly influenced by the person 's thinking. The relationship be-
tween thinking and self-control is not always simple. Directing people to think
