dependency needs
[dipen′dənsē]
the sum of the physical and emotional requirements of an infant for survival, including parenting, love, affection, shelter, protection, food, and warmth. Reliance on others to satisfy these needs decreases with age and maturity. Continuance in later years, in overt or latent form, is indicative of a pathologic emotional disorder. These needs may increase under stress, as during physical illness, in which case they do not reflect a psychopathologic condition. Compare emotional need.
