Recent work at the Wisconsin Primate Laboratory has been directed toward experimental production and cure of human-type psychopathologies in rhesus monkey subjects. A primary emphasis has been on depression. Data are presented which identify different procedures designed to produce depression, help determine the susceptibility of any given subject to such procedures, and which outline methods and modes of therapy. The significance and future of work in the area of monkey models of human disorders is discussed.
