Book description
This book takes a fresh look at women in their maternal role. In the
21st century, with its frenzy and heterogeneity, where the mixture of
modernity and post-modernity is not without danger, motherhood cannot
escape the impact of social and cultural transformations.
Psycho-history, the accumulation and variety of psychoanalytic theories
of femininity and motherhood, the contribution of gender studies,
cross-disciplinary research, and listening to what our patients have to
say - all this has yielded, in the past few decades, much controversial
data that challenges orthodox classical thinking with respect to the
role and function of women as mothers.
