Trustworthiness is defined in terms of performance of both explicit and implicit contracts. The advantages of trustworthiness to the trustworthy person are considered. Trustworthiness is proposed to originate with the infant's experience of adequate mothering. The necessity of trustworthiness extending in a continuum outward from the trustworthy person, rather than skipping over closer persons in order to reach a larger group, is postulated. Discusses the relationships of script, family legacy, and trustworthiness. Makes recommendations for trustworthy therapy in the context of connectedness.
