Autonomy development requires a secure attachment foundation.
“Autonomy development requires a secure attachment foundation (e.g., [77]).”
From The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of attachment-based family therapy for young adults with high suicidal ideation: protocol of a randomized controlled trial (2024) · cites this paper as [77]
The Introduction (page unavailable) says securely attached young children show higher self-reliance and reports that securely attached adolescents are more likely to attain identity synthesis. These passages support a connection between secure attachment and aspects of autonomy development, but they do not establish that secure attachment is required for it. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
