We report on the impact of specific indexes of the severity and chronicity of parental depression, measures of familial discord, and demographic variables as predictors of impaired adaptive functioning and psychopathology in children. Seventy-two children and their mothers from 37 families were interviewed in person. At least one biological parent in each family had a depressive disorder but neither parent had a history of mania, schizophrenia, or schizoaffective disorder. Almost every measure of severity and chronicity of depression in the biological parents has a statistically significant association with currently impaired adaptation and the presence of a DSM-III-diagnosed disorder in the children, as do the measures of increased discord among married or separated parents. Depression in the mother is more strongly associated with increased psychopathology in the children than is depression in the father.
我们报告了父母抑郁的严重程度和慢性程度的特定指标、家庭不和的测量方法以及人口统计学变量对儿童适应性功能受损和精神病理学的预测影响。对来自37个家庭的72名儿童及其母亲进行了当面访谈。每个家庭中至少有一位亲生父母患有抑郁症，但父母双方均无躁狂症、精神分裂症或分裂情感性障碍病史。亲生父母抑郁的严重程度和慢性程度的几乎每一项测量指标，都与儿童目前受损的适应性以及DSM-III诊断的疾病的存在具有统计学上的显著关联，已婚或分居父母之间不和加剧的测量指标也是如此。母亲的抑郁症比父亲的抑郁症与儿童精神病理学增加的关联更强。
