HERNAEZ-GARCIA, Milagrosa. Care in personal flowering or personal development: reflections from the psychology for the bioethics of caring. []. , 22, 2, pp.271-287. ISSN 0123-3122.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2018.22.2.6.

This paper looks into the place care holds in personal development. It begins considering care as a universal and necessary category for human life and asks about the role it plays and how it influences one’s own personal development. Even though the framework that surrounds this reflection is a multidimensional humanistic anthropological perspective-that is, it recognizes the richness of the person with his different dimensions: biological, psychological, and social, all of them involved in personal development-, it specifically analyzes the psychological dimension of care under three aspects: being taken care of, taking care of others, and being aware of both realities.
