In this clause, "AS" is used to modify the word "his parents' power", just like relative nouns?
In order to successfully release himself from the control of his parents, a child must be secure in his parents’ power, as represented by their loving authority. The more effectively they communicate that authority, the more secure the child feels, and the better able he is to move away from them toward a life of his own.
