Occupational Dream, Relation to Parents and Depression in the Early Adult Transition.

Gooden, Winston; Toye, Richard

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v40 n4 p945-54 Jul 1984

Assessed the impact of difficulty forming an occupational dream and relating to parents on depression among college students (N=64). Results suggested that having to give up a valued dream, viewing one's relation to mother as authority-obeyer, and doing little exploring of occupational choices are related significantly to depression.
