The Self-Schema in Depression

  • Chapter
Perception of Self in Emotional Disorder and Psychotherapy

Part of the book series: Advances in the Study of Communication and Affect ((ASCA,volume 11))

Abstract

If clinical depression was experienced as the “Epidemic of the 70s” (Weissman & Paykel, 1974), then it must be said that the epidemic appears to be growing in the 80s. There is no evidence that the prevalence rates of depression are declining, and suicide appears to be on the increase, especially among young adults. A disorder that will affect 5% to 10% of all adult males and 10% to 20% of all adult females demands the attention of mental health services and practitioners. Further, as society faces the continuing prospect of high unemployment and other difficulties one may suspect that depression will continue as a major mental health problem for years to come.
