Abstract

Theory of human relatedness addresses a pervasive human concern, establishing and maintaining relatedness to others, objects, environments, society and self. This theory, derived from a series of inductive and deductive strategies, views relatedness as a functional, behavioral system rooted in early attachment behaviors. Individuals move through different states of relatedness including connectedness, disconnectedness, parallelism and enmeshment. Social processes that contribute to this movement are sense of belonging, reciprocity, mutuality and synchrony. Disruptions in clients' relatedness contribute to biological, psychological, and social disturbances.
