Abstract

The author studied depressed and nondepressed patients who were comparable in terms of age, social class, and parental age at birth to see if a greater incidence of past or present object loss occurred in either group. While no significant differences appeared, data suggest that losses in the five-to-nine-year age range would prove significant in a larger sample.
