Conclusion
Personality development, as conceived by some theorists (in the United States) is strictly physical, internal growth based on genetic and physiological variables. Personality socialization, on the other hand, consists of all the interactions with intimates over time who matter and who furnish and receive nurturance emotionally, physically, financially, and materially. Consequently, the purpose of this book is to present a theoretical framework that integrates personality socialization in functional and dysfunctional intimate relationships, along the whole individual and family life cycles, in continuity with evidence generated from sources internal and external to the framework.
