Abstract
Clinicians and researchers now generally agree that children can become depressed (Kovacs, 1989). Several important developmental questions remain, however, including whether and in what ways childhood and adult depression differ, and what accounts for these differences; that is, are there developmental differences in depression and if so, with respect to what aspects of the phenomenon?
