The Development of Emotionally Healthy Infants
The basis of emotional health for infants lies in the attachment relationship they develop with their main caregiver(s).

Interpersonal correlates of dependency
In general, studies of the interpersonal correlates of dependency indicate that dependent persons adopt a passive, helpless stance in interpersonal interactions.

These results are not surprising when one considers […]

Legal versus medical control of madness
During the early nineteenth century, in Britain as well as other emerging capitalist economies in Europe and North America, the systematic control of madness began.
