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.
