In this fascinating new study, two women, one a psychoanalyst, the other a sociologist, examine the many different aspects of the mother-daughter relationship, cleverly inserting a third party into the equation: men. In doing so, they bring the behavioral patterns and personality traits we observe around us on a daily basis into clearer focus.
Using examples from the most well-known films and novels of all time, the authors invite their readers on an interactive journey, enabling them to explore, choose, and even make genuine breakthroughs. Complete with thorough indexes, this book allows one to look up individual mother-daughter portraits, or go straight to the film or novel of one’s choice.
