Interpersonal problem-solving interactions of depressed adolescents and their parents

Article Abstract:

A sequential analysis of problem-solving interactions was conducted to compare the communication patterns between nondepressed and depressed adolescents and their parents. Results revealed that parents of depressed adolescents engage in higher rates of incongruent communication in which aversive content behavior is linked with positive affective behavior. Adolescent depressed content behavior, on the other hand, leads to greater suppression of parent aversive content behavior in nondepressed families than in depressed families.
