Healthy Dependency
Leaning on Others Without Losing Yourself
Authors: Robert F. Bornstein, PhD, & Mary A. Languirand, PhD
Overview
Is it possible to lean on others without losing your independence? According to psychologists Robert F. Bornstein (who coined the phrase “healthy dependency”) and Mary A. Languirand, the answer is yes. Drawing on more than 20 years of research and clinical practice, they show that healthy dependency—the flexible middle ground between rigid independence and unhealthy overdependence—creates stronger, more resilient relationships.
This groundbreaking book helps readers:
- Balance intimacy and autonomy without guilt
- Increase satisfaction in romantic relationships
- Improve family communication and parenting skills
- Build professional success through collaborative strength
- Enhance both physical and psychological well-being
Through real-life case studies, relationship-style questionnaires, and practical exercises, Healthy Dependency offers a proven, step-by-step path toward thriving in love, work, and family life.
Key Benefits
- Based on decades of original research into human attachment and dependency
- Practical guidance for cultivating supportive, balanced relationships
- Applicable across all ages, genders, and life stages
