Considering the different types of mothers under the aspect of distribution of power in the relationship between mother and child, we find the dominating form of upbringing mainly during the postwar years. This form comprises both the authoritative and the over-protective ways of bringing up. As a reaction, we now observe an excessive increase of the submissive type of mothers tending to compliant education: With the help of a free upbringing, they want to make their children capable of expressing their feelings freely. As these children are not told their personal limits, they become unadaptable to their social environment and develop a thirst of power. These phenomena are increasingly observed among children with atopic dermatitis.
