dc.description.abstractDefinition, diagnosis and treatment of childhood depression is confused and controversial. Confusion relates to semantic ambiguity, definitional problems, methodological issues, and difficulties inherent in the study of depression in children. To gain clarity on the meaning of depression, theoretical concepts were reviewed. Depressive syndrome was surveyed to delineate symptomatology, course, treatment and prognosis. Studies of childhood depression were collated to find common threads in descriptions and treatments of depressed children. A perspective for diagnosing depression in children was formulated. A pilot study of depression in children, illustrating issues discussed, was appended.en_ZA
