Abstract
This study examined the relations among parental depression, family conflict, and parents' expressed emotion in a sample of children of depressed and nondepressed parents. Results suggest that one possible pathway between parental depression and their expressed attitudes about their child (i.e., EE) may be through level of family conflict.
