Publisher's Synopsis
It has long been assumed that there is a relationship
between personality and depression. However, our understanding of the nature of that relationship has been hindered by the lack of a framework to guide theory development and research and insufficient attention to assessment and measurement issues. Laying the groundwork for future study and providing the most up-to-date analysis available, this volume reviews what is known about the complex interactions between personality and depression and integrates the models that have emerged from clinical, biological, and psychosocial theory and research.
