Opis

This text brings together authors from therapeutic, academic and social work backgrounds to discuss dependency, anxiety and gender relations within families. Drawing on professional experience the contibutors combine a psychoanalytical and feminist approach to mothering which aims to transcend the polarized and simplistic political debate about women's and children's needs. They also aim to show how such an approach can inform and improve professional practice.
