Extract

The personality of people who develop a depressive illness has been the subject of much controversy. Most of what has been written is based on clinical observations made during the illness and on inferences drawn from symptoms and there are few investigations based on studies of patients when they were not ill. The present investigation was carried out on women after they had recovered from a depressive illness.
