"Don't Tread On Me": Ethological Perspectives on Institutionalization.
Senn, Bruce J.; Steiner, Joseph R.
International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v9 n2 p177-85 1978-79, 78
The concept of dignity is developed from an ethological perspective. Special attention is given to innate, phylogentically programed behavior, the role of releasers, the importance of rituals, and the fact that "management problems" in institutions are often cries for dignity. (Author)
