Wendy Syndrome Defined A* “Learned Behavior”
«*■
attractive woman 'who proudly
i&uyssKSsi
let Mm forget he’a a man.”
Perhaps this woman doss do ail of
that. But dost sbs also try to be
"everything” to thooe poopio aho
loves moat to tho point of neglect
ing her own needs and dastrsa.
Ifshsdoss, that woman oould vary
well be a victim of the Woody
Syndroms. Quite simply the Woody
Symdrome is defined as learned
behavior in which woman taka care
of other people to the extant of doing
their thinking for them or to the
point of telling them how to fed and
what to dm That definition came
from Carole Rieka, a family and
marriage therapist. Adding to her'
definition, Fran Saxon of Woman
Reach remarked, "The woman who
suffers from the Wendy DUemma,
takes charge of other people’s well
being to die extent of denying bar
self.”
This behavior, according to both
professionals, is Imbedded in woman
as far back as their girlhood.
"Women have long been taught that
If you take care of other* then you’re
responsible, good and caring,"
stressed Mrs. Rida.
Neither Mrs. Ricks nor Mrs.
Saxon were denouncing any feelings
of nurturing. On the contrary, they
stremed that there is an appro
priateness of having the Wendy
Syndrome. Mrs. Saxon cited mis
example: “Whan a child Is in his or
her earliest stages of development,
the tendency to nurture and to take
care of this infant la definitely in
order.” Mrs. Ricks agreed, com
menting, “It’s only when that type of
behavior is excessive or inappro
priate that it becomes dysfunc
tional. When the woman finds her
self doing things for those she loves
that they could very well do for
themselves, then she has a
problem.”
More devastating than the Wendy
(fllemma itself is the general con
sensus between Mrs. Saxon and Mrs.
Ricks that the black woman has
been more affected by tbe Wendy
Dilemma throughout history than
white women
“Tbe Mack woman has been
taught to take care of her chil
dren, other people's children, her
household and other households. For
tbe black culture to survive tbs
effects of slavery the black woman
has had to be the one to do the

healing,” reminded Mrs. Saxon.
Once again Interjecting the ap
propriateness of the Wendy dilem
ma, Mrs. Ricks stated that in that
period of history, the type of car
ing and nurturing displayed was
necessary, while in the present it
may be viewed as excessive.
Recognising what the Wendy
dilemma is one step, but realizing
that those traits of excessive car
ing lie within a woman is a major
milestone. Sirs. Saxon, who freely
admitted that she was a victim of the
Wendy Dilemma, stated that it took
her having a nervous breakdown
before she realized ahe needed help.
“I was the mother of eight chil
dren and for a long time I felt that I
had to be everything to everybody.”
For some women. realizirtg that they
may be'the victims of the Wendy
Symdrome may mean simply ac
knowledging that the way thing,
have been operating are not work
ing anymore.
