There are numerous individual, familial, and environmental factors that impact the
onset of depressive disorders in youth. This article presents an overview of these factors
and describes our own research evaluating a possible model of how disturbances in
family functioning could lead to the development of depression in youth. Given that
families are often implicated in the development and maintenance of depressive
disorders in youth, it has been argued that maximally effective treatments for youth
should include families. Thus, a review of empirically evaluated treatments that involve
parental/familial participation for youth with depression is presented. These treatments
vary widely in number of meetings, format, and content. Finally, it is proposed that the
greatest benefit to including a parent or family component is improving the maintenance of treatment effects. To support this hypothesis, data from one of our own
investigations is presented.
