Zusammenfassung
Die Erforschung von Lebensereignissen („life events”) hat sich möglicherweise als die effektivste Methode herausgestellt, Einsicht in die Art und Weise zu bekommen, wie die externe Umgebung zur Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung von Depressionen beiträgt. Frühe Forschungsergebnisse haben deutlich gemacht, daß Konzepte, wie z.B. die bloße, durch ein Ereignis ausgelöste Veränderung der Aktivität einer Person, weitgehend irrelevant sind und es vielmehr darauf ankommt, sich direkt mit der Bedeutung der Ereignisse und ihrer emotionalen Auswirkung auseinanderzusetzen (Brown u. Harris 1978). Es hat sich außerdem als wichtig erwiesen, den andauernden Belastungen Beachtung zu schenken, die entweder durch ein Ereignis verursacht werden (den Tod eines Ehegatten, der zu finanziellen Problemen führt) oder zu einem Ereignis führen (Eheprobleme, die schließlich mit Trennung enden).
