Description

Electra vs Oedipus explores the deeply complex and often turbulent relationship between mothers and daughters. In contrast to Sigmund Freud�s conviction that the father is the central figure, the book puts forward the notion that women are in fact far more (pre)occupied with their mother. Drawing on the author�s extensive clinical experience, the book provides numerous case studies which shed light on women�s emotional development. Topics include: love and hate between mothers and daughters the history of maternal love childbirth and depression rejected mothers. Electra vs Oedipus will be a valuable resource for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and all those with an interest in the dynamics of the mother�daughter relationship.Typham this is the title: Electra vs Oedipus The Drama of the Mother�Daughter Relationship 1st Edition
