The Necklace: How Relationships Affect People

Improved Essays
I think there can be positive and negative ways relationships affect people. But the one example in my life is a positive way. I have a personal group of friends/group that I have become very close with over the past years. We have formed a close, strong friendship that I can really enjoy. We always help each other with a variety of different things, but we can always joke around with each other. We are all just so close that we can trust each other, and we have a close bond. This shows how much you can truly trust a person or persons. It also shows that you can rely on them. If my friends and I ever need any personal help or even just help with work, we can always rely on each other to help. In “The Necklace” Mathlide was so worried about

Attachment theory can be defined as a “lasting psychological connectedness between human beings” (Bowlby 1969, p. 194). John Bowlby, “a British psychoanalyst’ work attempted to understand the…

    Restated from the Text Stated in Your Own Words “The ability to transcend personal interests to provide care and concern for younger and older generations; it encompasses ‘procreation, productivity and creativity and thus the generations of new beings, as well as of new products and new ideas, including a kind of self-generation concerned with further identity development’ (Hutchison, 2015).” Generativity refers to the stage in middle adulthood where individuals focus on making a significant difference in the world through caring for others, coming up with helpful ideas, or products. “Failure to find a way to contribute to future generations, or to make a contribution to the general well-being, results in self-absorption and a sense of stagnation…

    In order to foster healthier thoughts and behaviors, it is important for therapists and clients to move beyond the concept of blame. Individuals learn to cope with life’s difficulties the best way that they can, given their circumstances.

They found that there is no empirical evidence showing that wives of alcoholics are different than wives of non-alcoholics in their caretaking and self-sacrifice.…
