Title: Marital and Family Processes in Depression
Description: "Research over the past two decades has revealed a robust reciprocal relationship between depression and marital dissatisfaction, but only recently have researchers been able to tease out the most clinically useful and coherent patterns in the data depicting this relationship.".

"In this volume, leading scholars synthesize these data, describe innovative data analysis strategies, and present original research that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries to include perspectives from developmental psychopathology, social and personality psychology, and clinical research and practice.

The recurrent nature of depression, the significant gender differences in interpersonal patterns, and the need to tailor marital therapy to account for differences among subgroups of depressed patients are among the themes explored by chapter authors. Their conclusions imply fundamental shifts in the way that we frame questions about families and pathology, conduct research, and attempt to intervene therapeutically in the lives or depressed patients."--BOOK JACKET.
