Conclusion
How does the process of developmental identity differentiation take place over the life cycle of individuals and their intimate relationships? It looks like most of the evidence, some of it already admittedly quite outdated, would support the model in the sense that major dysfunctions were present inside the two extreme ranges of the continuum, symbiosis-alienation and sameness-oppositeness. The next chapter will deal with applications of these ranges to styles in intimate relationships.
