From Nagy's contextual family therapy, the development of symptomatic behaviors in the pursuit of self-
justifying and harmful means to satisfy the perception of what is due as a result of deficient caring and
responsibility in parenting. For example, a child who was forced into the role of "adult" by his/her
parents may feel entitled to engage in irresponsible, adolescent behaviors as an adult (see Revolving
