La evocación de recuerdos autobiográficos se caracteriza por presentar distintos compo­ nentes fenomenológicos. Dada la ausencia de trabajos previos realizados en poblaciones hispanoparlantes, se realizaron 34 entrevistas en profundidad a individuos con y sin tras­ torno depresivo mayor de la ciudad de Buenos Aires (Argentina).

Autobiographical memory retrieval implies different phenomenological features. Given the lack of previous work in Hispanic-speaking populations, 34 in depth interview were carried out in individuals with and without Major Depressive Disorder in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Phenomenological components during the evocation of autobiographical memories were explored. Data was qualitatively analyzed using Grounded Theory. During the descriptive analyses, seven phenomenological categories were detected as emerging from the discourse. The axial and selective analyses revealed two main discursive axles areas; rhetoric-propo­ sitional and specificity- generalized. The impact on affective regulation processes, derived from the assumption of an amodal or multimodal style of processing autobiographical infor­ mation, merits further attention.
