Social supports have been viewed as central to psychological well-being, but little attention has been directed to the capacity to form supportive relationships. Psychoanalytic perspectives suggest that the quality of adult relationships is derived from earlier childhood attachment experiences. The authors tested this thesis by correlating medical students' perceptions of their earlier relationships with their parents with the perceived quality of their current social support networks. The data suggest the need for a more complex and psychodynamically relevant conceptualization of social supports, which has implications for therapeutic interventions to ameliorate support deficits.
社会支持被视为心理健康的核心，但人们很少关注建立支持性人际关系的能力。精神分析观点表明，成年人际关系的质量源于童年早期的依恋经历。作者通过将医学生对其早期与父母关系的认知与他们对当前社会支持网络的感知质量进行关联，来检验这一论点。数据表明，需要对社会支持进行更复杂且与心理动力学相关的概念化，这对改善支持不足的治疗干预具有启示意义。
