I think it may describe the "individuated" person that is self reliant and not dependent on others. But I'm not sure since I don't know exactly what that is. I was just curious what your thoughts were.
Regarding dependence, Dr. Scott Peck talked about "codependency" and "interdependence." The former is a pathological state of dysfunctional families - for example the emotional state of every family member reflects the emotions of the alcoholic father, or family members presume to read each other's minds and expect the other family members to read theirs. The latter is when independent people perform different roles in a cooperative endeavor.
