Abstract
A family‐systems model of depression is presented and discussed. In this model, the intrapsychic concept of cognitive schema and the interpersonal concepts of social stimulation and social reinforcement are integrated within a systems‐theory perspective. The effects of positive and negative feedback are delineated, and a concept of depression‐triggering and depression‐maintaining feedback loops is described. A clinical illustration is utilized to exemplify the theoretical model.Keywords
