The Depression-prone and the Depression-resistant Sibling: A Follow-up Note on Marital State
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
In another paper (Grosz, 1968) I reported that among 267 depressive patients from three sibling families admitted to the Bethlem Royal and Maudsley Hospitals, London, the middle born were significantly (p·001) over-represented and the youngest born under-represented among patients with two differently sexed siblings. There was no significant birth order effect among depressive patients with two same-sexed sibs (i.e. with either two brothers or two sisters).
