Abstract:
This articles reviews current research investigating the role played by psychosocial factors in affective disorders. Besides individual vulnerability factors of cognitive or intrapsychic type, family dysfunctions appear to be related to onset and course of depressive symptomatology. These data should stimulate the development of systemic studies focusing on affective disorders.
