• Autonomy and autonomy disturbances in self-development and psychopathology: Research on motivation, attachment, and clinical process (2016, background): “Given the role played by autonomy (or its absence) in both optimal development and developmental psychopathology, it is not surprising that autonomy support is emerging as an important, indeed critical, element in successful treatments for psychopathology (e.g., Mansour et al., 2012; Zuroff et al., ”
