Family Therapy for Depression in Young People

  • Chapter
Book cover Handbook of Depression in Children and Adolescents

Part of the book series: Issues in Clinical Child Psychology ((ICCP))

Abstract

Despite increasing evidence that “depression runs in families” (Hammen, 1991) and assertions that family therapy is the treatment of choice for a variety of childhood disorders (e. g., Johnson, Rasbury, & Siegel, 1986), little attention has been paid to utilizing family therapy with depressed children and adolescents. To address this deficiency, we begin this chapter with a brief review of the literature regarding the families of depressed children and the linkage between parental depression and the emergence of depressive symptoms in children (for detailed review see Kaslow, Deering, & Racusin, 1994). These streams of literature are reviewed because any discussion of family therapy techniques with this population must be rooted in current knowledge about these families. Due to space considerations, the related body of research focusing on parent—child relations and the etiology of adult depression will not be reviewed here (for a review, see Burbach & Borduin, 1986). Our attention will then turn to a delineation of an interpersonal family therapy (IFT) model that we have developed specifically for work with depressed youths and their families (Kaslow & Racusin, 1988; Racusin & Kaslow, 1991). This model, predicated on family systems theory, cognitive—behavioral psychology, the tenets of object relations theory, and developmental psychopathology, integrates other authors’ approaches to family interventions with depressives.
