Preferred term

dependency paradox  

Definition(s)

  • It is generally believed that yielding to expressions of dependence creates more dependence and less self-sufficiency. In fact, in many Western cultures, dependence on others is viewed as a sign of weakness and something that should be discouraged. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Dependency paradox]
