ABSTRACT
Little attention has been devoted to integrating theoretical conceptions of depression when considering patients with medical illness. This is more true of the social work literature than the psychiatric, in which medical formulations and treatment of depression gain primary focus. This paper presents an approach for understanding the phenomenon of depression in medical patients. It incorporates a theoretical perspective on the mechanism of depression relevant to social work intervention. Topics reviewed include diagnostic criteria for depression in the medically ill, organic factors in depression, and psychosocial theory of depression applied to medical patients. A second part of this paper will provide case examples and recommendations for social work intervention.
