✦ Synopsis
Problems confronting single mothers in their relationships with their sons is challenging. Among the factors affecting this relationship are the dualities relating to personality types as described by the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator and the Communication/Behavioral Styles as described by the Gregorc Style Delineator. These instruments and their findings are discussed in the paper.
The paper also looks at the problem that can arise in a relationship caused by the dynamics in different personality types and communication/behavior styles. Specific emphasis is given to the single mother-son relationship. Such dynamics as the effects of strong dominant types or styles on the relationship, differences and similarities in types and styles, the effects of the lack of significant male models in a child's life are also discussed.
