Attempts have been made to develop self-rating scales to assess depression in children. One of these scales, the Birleson Self-rating Scale, was administered to a non-clinical sample of boys which was larger, and covered a wider age-range, than Birleson's own non-clinical group. A comparison is made with Birleson's findings, and in addition data from the administration of the scale to a group of boys aged 13 to 18 years is presented.
