Produktbeschreibung

"Depression runs in families." Above all, the goal of thisbook is to come to some conclusions about the meaning ofthat simple assertion, which has a far from simple ex-planation of meaning. This book is designed to address someof the gaps in previous research on depressive disorders inthe family context: the sheer numbers of people withaffective disorders marks them as our most commonpsychiatric problem.
