Attachment and Dependency in Developmental Perspective.
Sroufe, L. Alan; And Others
Child Development, v54 n6 p1615-27 Dec 1983
Distinguishes between attachment (the relationship between infant and caregiver) and dependency (the reliance of the child on adults for nurturance, attention, or assistance). Assesses preschool children with varying attachment histories and suggests that the roots of overdependency lie in the quality of the early infant-caregiver relationship. (Author/BJD)
