According to Object Loss Theory, the loss of an attachment figure at an early age can lead to the development of depression. In this case, the client experienced the loss of his mother at a very young age, which may have disrupted his ability to form secure attachments and lead to the development of depressive symptoms. The other theories listed (Genetic, Cognitive, Gender) do not directly address the impact of early loss of attachment figures on the development of depression.
