Translator disclaimer

In this article, the concept of symbiosis is described in terms of two parts: the transactional symbiosis and the attachment. This permits us to understand the concept in a new way and demonstrates why symbiosis can be so resistant to change. The suggestion is made that any change in this area requires both behavior change and a change in how one senses one's boundaries.
