Stiver | | Abstract: | "Dependency" as a relational term has taken on pejorative connotations because of its long-standing identification as a feminine characteristic. A proposed new concept posits dependency as a context for healthy growth and a characteristic for assimilation into a positive self-image for all persons. | | Order # | Price | Pub.
