<p>'Reading this book changed my life as a researcher, guiding me into entirely new lines of inquiry. It provides an extraordinarily wide-ranging and erudite review of psychosocial theories and research about depression, but its greatest contribution is the elaboration of an evolutionarily-informed analysis of depression, especially how losses of rank and status and of social connection with others can activate evolved mechanisms that regulate affect and behavior and thereby trigger the syndrome of depression. Even 25 years later the book contains innumerable rich veins of novel ideas and hypotheses waiting to be mined by researchers and clinicians interested in depression.' -<strong> Professor David Zuroff, </strong>Department of Psychology, McGill University</p>
