Reconstructions of Family Relationships: Parent-Child Alliances, Personal Distress, and Self-Esteem.
Jacobvitz, Deborah B.; Bush, Nell F.
Developmental Psychology, v32 n4 p732-43 Jul 1996
Examined how women's reconstruction of various family patterns during childhood and adulthood relate to levels of depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. Found that women who recalled cross-generational alliances or triangulated family patterns, and whose parents were emotionally distant, were more at risk for depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem during transition to adulthood than those without such patterns.
