Electroencephalography (EEG) of human sleep : clinical applications

Abstract

Am J Psychiatry 132.2, February 1975 215 found that although these depressed women were moderately impaired in their daily lives and interpersonal relationships, their marital relationships became the arena for the depression. Friction, poor comm unication, dependency, and diminished sexual satisfaction were evident. Acutely depressed women showed an increase in hostility, especially toward their husbands and children. Remission of symptoms and improvement in social adjustment were more rapid during the first 2 months ofthe 20-month treatment period. The normal subjects, by comparison, were well adjusted and experienced housework as satisfying, parent-child relations as warm and involved, and marriage as affectionate and hanmonious. The authors of this book ate to be congratulated for their clear presentation of this carefully controlled research study. This work should serve as a reliable frame of reference for furthen research, not only of depression, but also of normal subjects. This book should be of real value to all those who are involved in the day-to-day care ofdepressed women.
