In this classic study, Henri Parens and Leon J. Saul provide a
comprehensive review of Freud s writings on the subject of
dependence, drawing attention to the fact that Freud said much more
about dependence than is generally recognized. The authors proceed
to supplement the theory of dependence from their own perspective,
drawing on the formulations of Rene Spitz and the findings of
ethologists (especially in imprinting and primary socialization) in
order to shed further light on the singularity of early human
development. They postulate the libidinization of dependence and
trace the effects of this on psychic development, and also consider
the dependence continuum in dynamic and economic terms ( inner
sustainment ), which reflects the equilibrium between dependency
and self-reliance. Utilizing Anna Freud s developmental lines and
Margaret Mahler s sub phases of separation and individuation, they
trace the epigenesis of dependence and provide illuminating
clinical examples."
