                                                                                                ABSTRACT

Our primary concern in this chapter is with the kinds of networks and relationships that tend to provide different kinds of support. However, we also consider briefly how the very networks that provide support may also be sources of personal problems. This review was essentially written in 1995 and has only been slightly updated ince then.
