Description: The theory that depression is an interactional style has become highly influential in the mental health field and has produced several lines of empirical study and of therapeutic intervention. A principal goal of The Interactional Nature of Depression: Advances in Interpersonal Approaches is to claim a central place for this tradition of thought and science in the collection of fundamental views on depression. This book brings together interpersonal, cognitive, stress and coping, developmental, and social psychology perspectives into a more complex and more comprehensive approach to depression theory and research.
