| Annotation | Traditional models of depression in later life describe the illness in terms of intra-physiological and intra-psychic processes. To investigate and describe the interpersonal nature of depression, data was analysed on levels of depression, stress, health, and marital distress in 535 married American couples. The results showed that marital distress was significantly associated with levels of depression for both partners, and that wives' distress was also significantly related to husbands' depression. With few exceptions, the levels of stress and/or health in either partner were directly and indirectly associated with depression for husbands and wives. (RH). |
