Includes bibliographical references (leaves 73-79). / With a growing burden of disease and disability stemming from mental disorders in South Africa, additional research into this area may be justified, with specific reference to depression. The effects of parental influences have been explored in the literature as a relevant and valid risk factor in the development and presence of depression. The literature has suggested two main underlying themes of parental styles that included parental overprotection and care. The concept of overprotection has been associated with depression. This thesis explored these constructs in their association with depression whilst highlighting the influence of control. Furthermore the influences of parental depression were also included.
