Security and Identity
Captions available
The idea
Drawing on Self-Determination Theory, the book treats security as a developmental necessity: without a foundation of safety, people cannot form stable identities.
In practice
Energy that would go into forming values, building skill and connecting with others redirected into self-protection.
Where people slip
The book adds that this defensive posture can persist long after the original threat has passed.
