title: [Children of depressed parents].
abstract: Children whose parents are depressed are the objects of numerous studies. In a critical study of literature, the author attempts to show the contributions and limits of present results. While it seems clear that children such as these are part of a group at risk, psychologically, the type and frequency have yet to be determined. The intricacies of innate and environmental factors takes the complexity of just such a situation into account. The impact of the mother's depression on her nurturing is also analyzed, along with its consequences on the infant's behavior.
