Summary:	"This book develops a new explanatory framework for chronic depression that is based, where possible, on psychological science. The framework rests on the premise that depression appears to include self-sustaining processes, that these processes may be, at least in part, interpersonal, and that understanding of these processes from an interpersonal standpoint may be useful in applied settings. The book thus builds on this framework to develop clinical implications. The audience for the book should, therefore, include anyone who is concerned with depression. In writing this book, we draw from a large base of empirical research on interpersonal processes in depression. In addition to the book's foundation on research, there are also speculations included herein; we believe they are reasonable ones, and we label them as speculations in the book, but ultimately, the judgment as to whether they are reasonable and useful is left to subsequent psychological and clinical science"--Book.

Description
Summary:	The link between depression and interpersonal behaviors has long been the subject of theoretical and empirical scrutiny. In ""Chronic Depression"", authors Jeremy Pettit and Thomas Joiner draw upon the extensive body of research on interpersonal processes of depression and develop a new explanatory framework for this persistent mental illness. Their framework operates with the understanding that depression appears include self-sustaining processes, with these processes being in part interpersonal, and that viewing the processes from an interpersonal standpoint may be useful in applied settings. In this highly readable volume, the authors survey the interpersonal sources of chronic depression, discussing interpersonal processes (stress generation, negative feedback-seeking, interpersonal conflict avoidance, and blame maintenance, among others) that lead to the maintenance of depression. Clinically-relevant examples and dialogues are interwoven in the text to demonstrate how interpersonal relationships can be impacted by these processes, and how they may be addressed in the context of treatment. The ideas presented in this book are sure to be valuable to students who are learning about depression, researchers who study the phenomenon, and therapists working to help clients with seemingly intractable cases of depression.
