Harriet Lerner on Mothers and Daughters

By Harriet Lerner and E.J. Koh

It is within the crucible of the mother-daughter relationship that a woman’s most basic human conundrum is resolved: how to connect with others while retaining her self-identity. Yet many women give up trying to communicate honestly with their mothers. Harriet Lerner on Mothers and Daughters is a personal conversation for every woman who seeks to better understand the mystery of the mother-daughter bond. Before a woman is anything else, she is a daughter. Her relationship with her mother anchors all other relationships in her life. With an intriguing grasp of human dynamics, Dr. Lerner illustrates how intense family and social pressures sabotage mother-daughter dialog. Instead of condemning our mothers for disappointing us, Dr. Lerner teaches, we can develop a genuine appreciation of our differences. Harriet Lerner on Mothers and Daughters is this esteemed psychologist’s most complete work on the central relationship in the emotional lives of women.
