Italian term
Timothy Stroud
relazione di aiuto
A term used in therapeutics to describe the relationship between a person suffering in some way and another person who is stronger, more knowledgeable or more capable in that particular context. The assumption is that there will be a transfer from the stronger to weaker person with regard to the problem in question (this is how it has been explained to me).

Comment: "Thanks Kay, I think 'helping relationship' must be the technical term. There are so many references to it and it seeems to describe the relationship literally."

| Thanks for the idea, but it does not seem to be the technically correct one (not sure if there is one!) |

Mi viene in mente il discorsodel mutuo aiuto
Note from asker:
| Thanks Rita but the impression I get from the text is that it is not a relationship of mutual support, it is actually one-way. |
