โงA Reliant Person (RIP) is a Special Person attachment experienced by those with Dependent Personality Disorderย (DPD). A RIP is someone the person with DPD (pwDPD) sees as a caretaker. This person provides the pwDPD a foundation of safety, security, and affection, as well as aides them in their decision-making. Without their RIP, the pwDPD may feel lost and confused.โง
