A semi-structured interview was used to assess how individuals coped with the onset of disabling illness, and to assess depressive symptomatology. According to DSM-III-R criteria, 18 participants were diagnosed with major depression, 11...

Here, we propose a very different hypothesis to explain the data reported by Lolle et al. Our hypothesis is based on a relatively straightforward developmental aberra...
