Preferred term

connectedness and autonomy  

Definition

  • In a symbolic sense, humans, like birds, need both a nest for stable connections and wings to soar freely toward greater autonomy. This comparison underscores how important it is for people both to become securely connected and to explore greater autonomy within marriage, parent-child, dating, friendships, workplace, and other intimate relationships. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Connectedness, Tension with Autonomy]
